About This Item
Hardcover volume, 1887, London. Condition is Very Good: Boards show light general wear, some fading to spine. Binding is sound. Interior has no writing or markings of any kind. Some light foxing, rare smudges. Paginates: [1], iv, 179, 4 unpaginated plates. Author is arguing for the disestablishment of the Church of England in Wales. He does this by discussing the history of Wales and Druids. Book has much info on Druids and ancient Wales including some nice plates. Although labeled "Third Edition" this is actually the first, last and only edition. All 19th century copies are firsts. See generally WorldCat. Advertising this as "Third Edition" gives the appearance of strong sales and public interest and where were you when the first two editions were sold out. This dubious business practice makes for an interesting item. A collectible book in like condition. Please see images of the book you will receive. Notes: No date on title or copyright page of this or any other copy. The date is derived from multiple sources in the text but the easiest is the last page which is dated "Easter, 1887." For the collector of the Curious & Obscure.
