Full Leather. Zustand: Good. Please see the photographs for details of condition, and for contents. 248 pages. The head of the spine is missing about 1cms, the upper board is completely detached, with a little loss of surface at bottom edge, and the lower board is starting to detach.

Although less than perfect, overall this volume is very satisfactory and rather splendid looking on the shelf. The Anglo-Saxon Review was a quarterly publication overseen by Lady Randolph Churchill and released in London by John Lane. Its duration was brief, spanning from June 1899 to September 1901, and it comprised a total of 10 volumes. During the lead-up to its launch, Churchill's son, Winston Churchill, served as one of her advisors. He proposed that the magazine's mission should be "to maintain a lasting record of the ideas and ambitions of our era, which shift as rapidly as light on flowing water, for the benefit of future generations yet to come." The publication featured contributions from notable figures such as Henry James, Winston Churchill, George Gissing, Stephen Crane, Henry De Vere Stacpoole, Robert Barr, Henry Duff Traill, Henry Swinburne, Ethel Rolt Wheeler, Henry Watson Fowler, and Frank Swettenham. Each edition was elegantly bound in a stunning antique cover. For instance, the inaugural volume was encased in a binding crafted by an unknown artisan, which belonged to James I's edition of the renowned Vrais portraits by Andre Thevet, published in Paris in 1584, and it showcases the arms and initials of James. The subscription roster included prominent leaders, members of royalty, and some of the wealthiest families from both Britain and the United States. Additionally, many contributors to the magazine were part of the nobility, clergy of the Church of England, members of parliament, titled servants of the crown, and international dignitaries [Wikipedia].
