About This Item
William Blackwood and Sons, 1863. Hardcover. Very Good. 8 Volume set. Suitable for a gift. Beautiful half calf, brown levant morocco leather and marbled boards. Gold lettering. Bindings are near fine. Clean, unmarked pages, with sparse foxing. William Blackwood and Sons, published 1863-1887. 2nd edition of Vols I & II; rest are 1st editions. Kinglake based his history of the Crimean War both on his own experiences and on the papers of Lord Raglan given to him by Raglan's widow. Kinglake ordered that Raglan's papers be destroyed after Kinglake's death, thus rendering his own work the only secondary source describing Raglan's account of the War. Several dozen battle plans and other maps (many folding) demarcating each army's units in red, blue, and green. Pictures available upon request. Ships daily. (RARE)
