A HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH SPEAKING PEOPLES. The Chartwell Edition.

First illustrated edition, first printing. Four volumes. Publisher's original blue cloth, ruled in gilt to the upper board, titles in gilt on red leather labels to the spine. Top edge blue. Issued without dustwrappers. Illustrated with half-tone plates. An excellent, very near fine set, the bindings square and tight, the cloth with just a few faint marks, is bright and fresh, the labels in fine condition. The contents are clean throughout and without previous owner's inscriptions or stamps. An lovely example of the Chartwell edition, issued contemporaneously with the Cassell edition, in a larger format and on fine quality paper.
