'Area, Houses and Population. Administrative and Ancient Counties&apos.Volume II. 'Area, Houses and Population. Registration Areas and Sanitary Districts', illustrated with eight folding maps in colour.Volume IV. 'General Report with Summary Tables and Appendices&apos.'Islands in the British Seas: Isle of Man, Jersey, Guernsey and Adjacent Islands&apos.A scarce original source for England's population at the close of the nineteenth century.From Nottingham Public Library; with their label to the front library binding and plates to the front pastedowns and endpapers. In a recent full cloth binding. Externally generally smart; a little bumped to the extremities and the heads and tails of the spines.
