Octavo; xiii, 237 pages, pictorial dark green cloth, edgeworn, puncture in the dedication leaf margin, t.e.g. Signed on the front pastedown, "William Seymour Edwards / from an old friend - / His book". This is a record of the author's 1902 honeymoon trip through Denmark, Sweden and Russia, to Moscow, in a series of letters to his father. "Entering Russia, I found myself amidst social and political conditions, mediaeval and malevolent. The wanton luxury of the enormously rich, the pinching poverty of the very poor. ... In the brief interval which has since elapsed this smoldering discontent has become the blazing conflagration of Revolution." - Foreword. Illustrated with dozens of photographs taken with a Kodak.

London: Bemrose & Sons , 1881. Hardcover. Fair/No Jacket (as published). 5.5" X 8.5. 39pp., A classic study on the origins of place names in the English county of Derbyshire. This copy has had a tough life, the spine strip is missing and both hinges are weak. The pages themselves are all soundly bound. The book includes some related ephemera, including a letter and several newspaper cuttings, mainly from the 1920s. (Includes the author's obituary). Some cuttings are stuck to the pages, but all text is still quite readable. There is the signature of a previous owner (William S Longbottom) at the top of the title page. William Longbottom was better known by his pen name of Horace Weir, the author of many works on the history of Derbyshire. Please note that this is a 19th century produced copy and not a modern reproduction. All orders processed and shipped promptly from the UK, usually within 24 hours.
