Product Description

Exceptional complete three-volume set of John Richard Green's seminal "A Short History of the English People" published by Richard Clay and Sons. This comprehensive historical masterwork spans from ancient origins through the English Civil War, representing one of the most influential historical narratives of the Victorian era.

This collectible set features:
• Complete three volumes covering comprehensive English history from earliest times
• Special Edition status with detailed publication information from 1892-1898
• Elegant burgundy cloth binding with distinctive royal emblems and gilt lettering
• Illustrated throughout with detailed historical notes and contemporary references
• Original publisher's binding in characteristic Victorian style with ornate spine decoration
• Important preface by Green discussing his approach to English constitutional development

The volumes show honest age-related wear consistent with their 125+ year heritage, including some spine deterioration and foxing to pages, but remain structurally sound with all content intact. This represents a significant piece of Victorian historical scholarship that profoundly influenced how English history was understood and taught. An essential acquisition for collectors of British history, Victorian literature, or anyone seeking Green's masterful chronicle of the English people's development through the centuries.
