The Handbooks contained biographical information for the notable people listed therein. The first incarnation of Kelly"s Handbook was called The Upper Ten Thousand: An Alphabetical List of All Members of Noble Families was published in 1875 and was a rather exclusive publication. From 1878 this became Kelly"s Handbook of the Upper Ten Thousand. The final name-change to Kelly"s Handbook to the Titled, Landed and Official Classes came in 1880, with more emphasis on the upper classes and endured until 1973. With 60 pages of publisher's advertisements to the front. In the original red cloth binding. Externally, smart with light shelf wear and some rubbing to the joints. Cloth to joints has split and there is a tear to the head of the spine. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean throughout. Good . Ill.: None. Good .
