A 'history from Antiquity to the present of ideas about the planet on which we live' -- from the front flap. First edition (first printing). A fine copy in a fine dust jacket.

Lincoln In American Memory). In 1925, after many years of negotiation, Oldroyd sold his entire collection to the U.S. government for the sum of $50,000, preserving his lifelong obsession along with many artifacts which otherwise may have vanished.
