Beschreibung

470 pages. Large format hardback, 7 x 10 ins. Dr Matikkala is a Finnish scholar who also qualified in UK (PhD, Cambridge).

Since his chief interest is in the 18th Century, he does not notice later innovations (Orders of the British Empire, St Michael & St George and the Royal Victorian Order). Colour and B&W illus, three appendices, bibliog, index. Condition: very good: stoutly bound, fine paper, hard casing and d-j well-kept (very slight dent in d-j at spine, not torn). Text clean.
