Thomas Arnold — Introductory Lectures on Modern History

London, Longmans, Green and Co, 1874. Leather. A scarce edition of Thomas Arnold's 19th Century lectures on Modern History. Scarce. The headmaster of The Rugby School from 1828-1841, Arnold's lectures are transcribed here from exactly how they were delivered, and thus give a real impression of the reality of 19th schooling. There are booksellers' stamps to the front free endpapers and a previous library card to the pastedown. In calf binding with gilt detailing. Externally sound, with some rubbing to the extremeness and backstrip. The joints are also worn and are starting slightly. Internally the book is firmly bound, with some foxing to the endpapers. The pages are otherwise bright and clean. Very Good . Ill.: None. Very Good .
