A SONG OF THE ENGLISH

Blue cloth, hardback book, with beautiful gilt title impressions on the front board and spine, supported with gorgeous pale green decorative designs. No jacket. The book is in really good condition, normal wear and marks apply consistent with use and age. Shelf-life wear, marks, speckles of foxing and light fading to edge of papers. Tiny wear to top and base spine and corners. Personal pen and ink inscription on first blank page, dated 1930. 123 pages all intact, tight binding, all pages, text and lovely colour and black and white illustrations are in reasonably good, readable order, there is some foxing to some of the pages. Frontispiece has tissue guard paper intact, to protect the beautiful illustration. No printed date of publication, therefore I'm assuming its a first edition and is probably early 1900's. This edition of "A Song of the English" is reprinted from "The Seven Seas" and the publishers desire to acknowledge the courtesy of Messers. Methuen & Co. in consenting to its issue as a separate volume. Printed in Great Britain by Hazell, Watson & Viney, Ltd, London & Aylesbury. Just a beautiful book, that's worth preserving for future generations.…
