About This Item
London: Chapman and Hall, Limited, 1887. Baron de Mandat-Grancy (1842-1911) worked as a journalist and travel writer. "Chez Paddy" is sympathetic to the situation of the Irish, but he did not think rebellion would happen. His economic theories saw emmigration or protection as the only options. The review in "The Economist" (8/6/1887) calls him an "intelligent observer" and a "charming writer." Quercus notes, however, that his conservative views were more than tinged with racism in the book he wrote on America, and he enjoys some popularity among current white nationalists. This is a Good only copy of the Second Edition (stated). An uncommon title. Green cloth binding, ruled on the front cover with title in black. Gilt titling on the spine, with two shamrocks in black. Translation from the French by A.P. Morton. Clean text; xvi, 307 pages. There is rubbing at the margins, and the book is shaken due to both hinges being cracked. Please note the condition issues; Quercus must offer this as a Binding Copy, in need of repair or restoration. . Second Edition. Hard Cover. Good/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
