About This Item
London: The Times Newspaper, 1906. Hardcover. ,folio,Folio size volume bound in 3/4 leather over dark 'pebbled' cloth,This periodical, which began in 1904, was issued weekly with The Times newspaper. This offering begins with the first issue, No. 1, March 1, 1905 and concludes with No. 96, December 26, 1906. Each issue contains from six to twelve pages of detailed technical, industrial, and commercial information. There is a comprehensive Index for the period March 1, 1905 to Dec. 27, 1905, and another such Index for the full year of 1906. Such indices will be invaluable reference tools for scholars. Each issue normally contains a number of special articles, followed by Correspondence, Notes and Paragraphs, Letters to the Editor, a section on Railways, Industrial Notes, Reviews of Technical Books, and Minor Articles. Interesting topics include Submarines (three-part article), The Panama Canal, Telephones and Telegraphs: Developments in the U.S., The Electrification of London, etc. as well as many period advertisements. The text is printed on newsprint stock, which has now browned a bit. The binding of this large, heavy, volume has been allowed in the past to dry, and hence the front joint is partially cracked and the boards show wear to extremities. The binding is still quite dry and must be handled with care. However, the contents are clean and unmarked. Given the ephemeral nature of such publications, it is quite unusual to find such a complete run, and in such good condition (the binding notwithstanding). We would ask that, if a purchase is contemplated, you first enquire as to shipping costs and options for this heavy volume.
