Beschreibung

A very scarce social exploration of Englishmen during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Very scarce work. Now first republished from the original copies with a preface and notes. An entertainingly illustrative account of the manners, opinions, and occupations of Englishmen through the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Throwing light on old-English customs, this piece explores rural and city life, and all respects of work by quoting from the original commentary of the time. Bound in quarter calf with brown cloth boards. Externally, worn with rubbing and bumping to the extremities. Fading to the spine and the odd mark to the boards. Loss to the head of the spine with a 1" split to the front joint. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright with light scattered spotting, predominantly to the endpapers. The odd handling mark. A 1" closed tear to the rear endpaper. Much of the textblock remains unopened. Library bookplate to the front pastedown. Good. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 880T68
