STRICKLAND, Agnes.

STRICKLAND, Agnes.

Lives of the Queens of England, from the Norman Conquest. Now first published from official records and other authentic documents, private as well as public.

STRICKLAND'S QUEENS OF ENGLAND
London: Henry Colburn, 1854.
8 vols., 8vo (7.5"). Full calf. A handsome set with raised bands, gilt panels and twin red labels.
A splendid eight volume set of Strickland's popular account of the Queens of England, the classic work on the female monarch. Fourth edition, which was embellished by portraits of each queen. Tremendously successful and impressively broad in scale, the work was in fact jointly written with Agnes' sister Elizabeth, who shunned public recognition. Uniformly bound with our copy of Strickland's Lives of the Queens of Scotland.
