- Used
- good
- Hardcover
London: Henry & Co., 1892. No dustwrapper, some old water-staining at the bottom of front board and to a lesser extent on the back, but gilt titles and decoration on spine and front board are still bright. Binding is coming a little bit loose in places, but the main defect is that a previous owner, probably sometime in the 1970s, has defaced the rev of f/ep, half-title and frontispiece with "humorous" scribblings. This was the first volume in the publishers "Victoria Library for Gentlewomen", and looks at upper-class society from an insiders point-of-view. The author wrote much on similar subjects back in the 1890s. 271pp, b&w frontispiece.. Hard Cover. Good/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.

Description:
This book is in fairly good condition. There is some wear on the front, back, edges, and spine of the cover boards, as well as spots on the outside back cover board. There is minimal bumping and fraying on the cover boards. The pages are yellowing and tanning, with some vertical fraying and warping, but the pages are clear of markings. A few of the pages are dog-eared and edges torn. "The Forsyte Saga was the title originally destined for that part of it which is called 'The Man of Propery; and to adopt it for the collected chronicles of the Forsyte family has indulged the Forsytean tenacity that is in all of us. The word Saga might be objected to on the ground that it connotes the heroic and that there is little of heroism in these pages. But it is used with a suitable irony; and, after all, this long tale, though it may deal with folk in frock coats, furbelows, and a gilt-edged period, is not devoid of the essential heat of conflict. Discounting for the gigantic stature and blood-thirstiness of…

ISBN: 9780718892760 "An exploration of the history of British sport, viewed through the lens of the life and work of Samuel Johnson and his friend and correspondent Hester Thrale. / In "Swimming with Dr Johnson and Mrs Thrale," Julia Allen takes a sideways look at sport, health and exercise in the eighteenth century, and in so doing reveals unfamiliar sides of the eponymous characters she uses as guides and commentators. Samuel Johnson does battle with the rough breakers at Brighton as energetically as he did with any of his verbal opponents; and Hester Thrale – herself 'a good waterspaniel' – provides wry observations, notably on what men decided women might decently be allowed to do in that foreign country that is the past. / Allen starts with the medical theories underpinning notions about exercise, the role of the physician and the…
