Collins, London. 1960. Revised edition. First published as 'The England of Charles II' (1934}. Hardcover. Blue cloth binding with gilt titling on spine. With original pictoral dustjacket. 192 pp. 14¾ x 22 x 2¼ cm. 434 gr. Jacket design by Kenneth Farnhill. Stock of the original edition which was entitled The England of Charles II, was destroyed in the blitz of 1940; this new edition is both revised and illustrated with black/white plate. An indispensable companion to Sir Arthur Bryant's other seventeenth century studies. The book describes 'a visit to a far country...the land we now inhabit, but then occupied by our great-great-great-great-great-great-grandparents'. 'I have tried', the author writes, 'to depict that century as they knew it - the feel and sense of it, its sights, sounds and even smells.' Binding is tight, spine fully intact. All edges clean, neat and free of foxing. Dustjacket, which is not price clipped, is in very good condition, apart from normal shop shelf wear. Near fine copy in very good dustjacket.
