About This Item
Westminster : Machell Stace, 1810. Cloth. Very Good. 14.5" x 9.5". None. A limited edition collection of primary sources on Oliver Cromwell during the civil war period. The work draws together contemporary documents, including newspaper articles and other ephemera, which shed a light on Cromwell, his character, and actions. As noted in the introduction, the purpose of the work is to supply "such anecdotes of Oliver Cromwell as could be collected." With a poem on Cromwell inserted before the half title page. This copy was a gift from Councillor C.H.Dancey to Gloucester Public Library in 1911. There is a plate showing this to the front blank. This copy is one of a limited edition of only 250; these were all large paper copies. With five plates, four showing illustrations and the other a facsimile. Rebound in a modern cloth library binding. Externally excellent with almost no shelf wear. Internally with a barcode to the front free endpaper and a dedicatory bookplate to the front blank. The pages are very slightly cockled and a little age-toned. The plates are spotted. With the occasional spot here and there throughout. Firmly bound. Very Good
