DESMOND STEWART - The Pyramid Inch

London, England, Chapman and Hall, 1966. First Edition, Binding: Cloth, Very Good/Poor. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Hardback The pyramid inch (a predictive measurement 'discovered' by a nineteenth-century Astronomer Royal of Scotland) gives Mr. Stewart the title for the second volume of his trilogy. Following on from The Round Mosaic, it covers a period much closer in spirit to our own: one that saw the rise of Hitler in Germany, and, in the British Empire, slow decay behind ostensible strength. Very slight foxing to top edges. Wear and tear to D/J. Some browning to inside D/J.
