About this Item

THE HOLBORN LIBRARY.
Selections from The Paston Letters.
By A. H. R. Ball, as transcribed by Sir John Fenn.
Arranged and edited by Albert H. R. Ball, M.A.

London: George G. Harrap & Co. Ltd, 1949.

Octavo (8vo). Original publisher?s cloth, with dust jacket.

Condition:
Good overall condition. Strong, square boards with a tight binding and a secure text block. The dust jacket shows wear: slight tearing to the top and bottom of the spine and a small tear at the bottom of the rear panel, but remains intact and presentable. Internally clean throughout with no marks, inscriptions, or other annotations. A solid example of this mid-twentieth-century edition of a classic primary source.

Notes:
This volume presents selections from The Paston Letters, a foundational collection of fifteenth-century English correspondence that sheds light on domestic and political life in the late medieval period. The letters were first transcribed by Sir John Fenn in the eighteenth century and remain a cornerstone of medieval manuscript studies. Albert H. R. Ball?s arrangement and editorial work for The Holborn Library makes this accessible and enjoyable for both general readers and scholars.
