About This Item
London: T. Fisher Unwin, 1887. J. (Arthur)nPartridge (1824-1891) was a Birmingham businessman and Liberal plitician. While his biographical dtails are scant, he was also the author "On Democracy" (1866) and "The Making of the American Nation" (his best-known work).This is a Very Good copy of a Later Printing of the First Edition (missing the 1886 publication date on the Title Page; assumed as 1887). Held by sixteen libraries in the UK, it is uncommon in the Trade. Cloth bound, 190 pages. Although ex-libris, this is one of the best copies Quercus has seen. The text, usually well-tanned, is still bright and fresh. The half-title page is starting, but hoilds strongly. The striking cover, with gold and green opposed diagonally, is quite bright and clean, although removal of a spine label has left some glue residue. A very respectable copy of this significant work of 19th Century Irish history. In an archival plastic protector.. Later Printing. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
