About This Item
London: Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge - Richard Clay, Printer, Bread Street Hill, 1856 approx (acc. To Oxford Bodley). Hardcover. Good. Duodecimo (184x110mm) original school buckram with printed title NEW SERIES - ENGLISH HISTORY to front cover (edges worn/spine rebacked in matching old cloth) xii (incl. half title, Titlepage & contents) +324pp. Some foxing and fingering, lacks free front endpaper and some corner creasing. Three names to pastedown (Joseph Wigley, Annie Benbow and Annie Lilly Benbow) all very neat. Surprisingly scarce with only one copy of this edition of 324pp taking the history up to the fall of Sebastopol in Crimean war ending 8th September 1855. The book ends with this characteristic comment: "An Englishman can hardly help feeling proud when he looks on this little island home of ours, and remembers that it holds the sceptre over so large a portion of the earth's surface. God gave it to us that we might give to the people of all these lands the great belessings which He has given us - freedom, and just laws, and. Above all, the knowledge of the Gospel of Jesus Christ".
