About This Item
A gorgeous survivor that looks new until one checks small details. The front-board in an akmost patrician purple has a bright gilt coat of arms of the Ulster King of Arms, which as a title of the author. Spine in like colors and brilliant. fresh. So what are the small deatils that prevent my listint it as NEW. Bottom right fron corney has a miniscule losss of colour that may not show on the scan. Check! Inside front board must have been a bookplate becasue I see a trace of mounting. I will show the scan so you may assess whether it is significant In all other respects perfection with the tone of 132 years. 380 pages including the index. Undated but shown by Worldcat as FIRST PUBLISHED IN 1882.
Burke is perhaps best known as editor of Burke's Peerage (1847 et seq). In 1873, he wrote "the Rise of Great Families;" Reminiscencies is an update of that and, surprisingly, a scarcer book.
