The Rural Life of England (2 vols.)
Book Description
London: Longman, Orme, Brown, Green & Longmans, 1838. First edition. This is a very good pair. Title vignettes by S. Williams. Original decorative green cloth stamped in blind and gilt. Sunning to the spine as typical with these volumes. Light bumping to the corners and spine tips. Yellow endpapers as called for. In the first volume, the gutters have started to crack, but otherwise holds up well. Overall, this is a very good pair.
Detailing the forests of England, the people of rural England, farming, the gentry, agricultural population, and a good deal more. A sweet pair, well preserved.
