The History of Modern Europe. by RUSSELL, William

London: Longman, Rees, et al., 1837. 4 volume set, 8 3/4 inches tall. An exceptionally fine mid-Victorian full calf from the library of Alfred de Rothschild, but without his bookplate. With gilt raised bands, twin labels and flamboyant gilt tooling to the panels. Twin gilt fillets frame the boards. Some foxing to the preliminaries, otherwise pristine. William Russell's history has here been edited and revised with some important corrections and continued to the death of William IV of England.
