A complete set in twelve volumes containing the history of England by James Anthony Froude from the the fall of Wolsey to the defeat of the Spanish Armada.In a sumptuous signed binding by the Relfe Brothers, in blue calf and gilt. A fantastic collection. Froude established himself as a well known historian after he published this collection between 1856 and 1870 under the title History of England from the Fall of Wolsey to the Death of Elizabeth. The author spent twenty years researching for the completion of this study; his work was characterised and appreciated particularly for his dramatic rather than scientific treatment of history, approach which he undertook in order to defend English Reformation against the interpretation of Catholic historians. The set is comprised of the first three volumes being the 1897 edition, while volumes IV-XII are the first revised edition of 1893, which saw the change in title to History of England from the Fall of Wolsey to the Defeat of the Spanish Armada. First thus. This work focuses on figures such as Henry the Eighth, Edward the Sixth, Mary, Elizabeth. In a sumptuous fine calf binding by the Relfe Brothers, with gilt to the boards and spine, five raised bands, and marbled edges and endpapers. Externally excellent with minor shelf wear only and a very minor rubbing to the leather to the spine. The spine has slightly faded. with a school prize bookplate to the front pastedown of volume I, dated 1902. Internally, firmly bound. With a minor faint spotting to the first and last few leaves of the occasional volume only, otherwise the pages are bright and clean throughout. Very Good Indeed . Ill.: None. Very Good Indeed .
