History of England from the Fall of Wolsey to the

FROUDE'S HISTORY OF ENGLAND
London: Longmans, Green and Co., 1867.
12 vols., 8vo (8¾" tall). Splendid half crushed
terracotta morocco by RAMAGE, London. Marbled boards
and endpapers. Top edges gilt. Bookplate to front
pastedown.
A very handsome set bound by top London binder,
Ramage. Published to immediate popular success,
Froude's History of England firmly established him as
one of the pre-eminent writers of the day and
fundamentally altered the whole direction of Tudor
studies. Although heavily criticised for its
inaccuracies and anti- Papal tendencies, Froude's work
was nonetheless well researched and incorporated
unprecedented volumes of previously unpublished
material. Uniformly bound with our other copies of
works by Froude.
