Description:
London: University of London Press, 1948. First edition. Hardback. Good/No jacket. 164 8vo. Subtitle: a Study in Boarding School Education. A signed and dated letter from the author is taped to the front paste down. A typescript foolscap note by W.H.Burston, with the heading The Public Schools, is laid in. Light blue cloth-covered boards, black titles to spine, black motif to front board, 111 pages. Condition notes: Boards rubbed and faded, spine darkened, previous owner's name etc to front free endpaper, dust spotting to external top edges of text block. The taping in of the author's letter is a mixed blessing, as it has made rather a mess of the paste down.
