Book
Softcover Blue and White Lamin. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. This book provides a general picture of the Roman province of Britain during the period from A.D. 43 until the fifth century. It does not attempt to furnish a continuous historical account, for which neither the written sources nor the archaeological material can provide enough evidence. The nearest approach to this is in the description of the military subjugation and organization of the province, dealt with here in considerable detail in an attempt to relate it to general policy, and to give a closer account of its changes than is usually attempted. The towns are considered analytically, with emphasis on their social function in the several communities of which they were the centres, and upon their connexions both with the Roman state and the native tribe, and attention is given to the smaller centres both in civil and military areas. Religious cults, their buildings, and their artistic expression are brought into relation with the provincial social order. Commerce and the countryside are the themes of other chapters, and the development of provincial resources in agriculture and raw products is described. The book is illustrated by eight pages of plates. No Author signature.

Softcover Blue and White Lamin. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. ### The DESTRUCTION of LORD RAGLAN -- A Tragedy of the Crimean War (1854--5) by Christopher Hibbert 1963: A Pelican Book. No.A618 ### ## THIS BOOK: Classified NEAR FINE: This is the 1963 edition. The book was published originally in 1961 by Longman, Green and then by Penguin in 1963. Blue and white cover with black and white text and laminated. The pages are clean and tidy. There is no bumping to corners and no foxing. The cover shows John Wesley at the age of 85 years from an engraving by W H Gibbs (See Images).## ## More than any other individual, Lord Raglan, the British Commander-in-Chief, took the blame for the disasters of the Crimean War, which cost Britain 25,000 lives and £70,000,000. This well-connected officer, who had sat at a desk almost since Waterloo, became the universal scapegoat for the criminal inadequacies of transport and medical supplies; for the incompetence of generals; and for the shambles of the Alma, Balaclava, and 'Inkerman. The newspapers busily fostered the legend. ## This is the first portrait of Lord Raglan to be published. In it, the biographer of Wolfe and Benito Mussolini makes a twentieth-century re-assessment of the man and the Palmerstonian war that caused his downfall. The author has drawn on contemporary letters, papers, and diaries to strongly suggest that the chaos of Crimea was the tragic result, not of one man's neglect, but of a whole nation's folly. ## ## It is among the best war books that I have read ?

Softcover Blue and White Lamin. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. ### THE QUEENS COURT by Peter Archer 1956 -- The Pelican History of England ## ## THIS BOOK: Classified VERY GOOD: This is the 1956 edition. The book was originally published in 1956. Blue and white cover with Black text with a matt finish. This is a first edition and is in remarkable condition for its age, the spine is still tight, and the pages are clean and tidy, too.## ## The British genius for government, which has combined democracy and personal freedom with orderly administration, owes much to English ideas of law. These are the products of the legal system, developed over many centuries by the legal profession. And that system has been determined less by abstract speculation than by the practical working of the law courts. ## ## An account of institutions which produced the criminal trial for the protection of the citizen against unlawful interference like by wrongdoers and the police, and the civil action for the effecting of justice between citizens, is not a static picture. English law embodies generations of experience but constantly adapts to new situations. The twentieth century has witnessed the birth of numerous tribunals who have taken their place alongside the ancient courts. Of all these, their work, and their place in English life, this book sets out to tell. It concludes with a comparison between the legal institutions of this Country and those which function in different settings for different ways of life. ## #### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note.

Softcover Blue and White Lamin. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. ### METHODISM by Rupert E Davis 1963: A Pelican Original Book. No.A591### ## THIS BOOK: Classified VERY GOOD: This is the 1963 edition. The book was published originally in 1963. Blue and white cover with black and white text and laminated. The pages are clean and tidy. There is no bumping to corners and no foxing. The cover shows John Wesley at the age of 85 years from an engraving by W H Gibbs (See Images).## ## The prodigious horseback ministry of John Wesley in the eighteenth century ranks as a saga of the Christian Faith. Through his exertions, Wesley inspired, organised, and welded 'the people called Methodists' into a church which has today grown into the greatest force in the Protestant world,## ## The Vice-Principal of Didsbury College, Bristol, outlines in this new book the history of the Methodist Church since Wesley's day and discusses its present condition. He shows how Methodism has been a recurrent brand of Christianity since the earliest times. ## ## Describing John Wesley's personal religious development, his proclamation of the orthodox doctrines of the Christian Church, with his particular emphases, extraordinary power over men's minds, and the importance of Charles Wesley's poetry, successfully corrects many false images of Methodism. With the tide set in the direction of Christian unity, his estimate commands both interest and respect. ## #### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note. FREE SHIPPING IS UK ONLY.

The book was originally published in 1942 by Longmans in New York and first by Penguin in 1959. Blue and white cover with Black text with a semi-glossy finish. The cover shows some signs of use; however, the pages are clean and tidy. Minor fold to the back cover and a slight tear now, but it has been repaired. This book shows the mastery of writing by George Macaulay Trevelyan at his best.## ## In this brilliant chronicle, one of the greatest writers of English history tells the story of the building of 'this realm, this England' from the remote days of the Celt and the Iberian to just before the Second World War. By abbreviating his narrative in dealing with periods of minor importance, he can give pace and proportion to this exhilarating history of the British people. ## ## What the reader may look forward to in A Shortened History is shown by the universal praise of its parent volume: 'The text, with its easy style and beautiful clarity, the mastery in summarising, will always deserve and win new readers.' ?

The book was published originally in 1961. Blue and white cover with black and white text and laminated. A circular illustration of George Clemenceau. The pages are clean and tidy. There is no bumping to corners and no foxing. The back cover has a small part of the laminate removed. (See Images).## ## Volume Two: From the First Empire to the Fourth Republic 1799-1945 ## ## The second volume of Professor Alfred Cobban's History of Modern France begins with refashioning French laws and institutions under Napoleon in 1799 and ends with the formal abolition of the Third Republic in 1945. Between these years, régimes have risen and fallen, and governments have been set up and overthrown at a dizzy pace. To plot each point on a constantly rising or falling graph would be to lose sight of the major developments. While supplying the detail necessary if history is to escape from vague generalities and has a sharp outline, Professor Cobban devotes most attention to the great turning points. While there is an ample supply of 'facts', his book aims to be not a textbook compilation but an interpretation of French history, not to force agreement but to stimulate the reader to ask his questions and formulate his judgements. ## #### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note.
