FIRST EDITION, 1913. Hardcover. This book is rare in its first edition form, and is a comprehensive, scholarly account of one of England's older grammar schools, filling a notable gap in local historical records at the time. It is a foundational text for the Wolverhampton Grammar School's history, and prized for its illustrations and detailed scholarship.ABOUT THIS COPY: Bound in dark blue publisher's cloth with the crest of the Wolverhampton Grammar School crest debossed in gilt on the cover. Spine is lettered in gilt. Illustrated throughout with steel engravings in sepia tones and black and white. Some illustrations are bordered by a plate mark (a depressed / indented border around the image). Frontispiece is a sepia engraving of Wolverhampton School from the South in 1750. Contains a list of illustrations with notes, twelve chapters, seventeen appendices, and a corrigenda et addenda. Indexed. xvi, 411 pp. FROM THE PREFACE: "The annals of the Wolverhampton School have long been neglected. A school, with a history of over four hundred years, has hitherto been dismissed in a few uncertain paragraphs. Speech makers at prize distributions have reiterated the vague and timeworn facts of the school's past in pitiable destitution. The present volume, in being the work of an outsider, is an exception to the rule; but most people have something better to do than to spend their spare time and money in continuous historical research, and at the time when I turned my attention in this direction there seemed very small likelihood of anyone else bringing the matter to a close. I owe apologies to all Old Wulfrunians for taking from them the task which is undoubtedly theirs."CONDITION: Cover shows wear and some soiling. Pages are sometimes uncut at the head and foredge throughout. Light foxing and discoloration, (particularly within the endpapers), yet leaves have evenly toned, are free from marginalia or creasing, and pagination is complete. A previous owners name, E. H. Phillips, is written in pencil on the front flyleaf, dated 1913. A nice find. Full refund if not satisfied.…

Store description
Since 2005, Shelley and Son Books has been passionate about books, and preserving their importance for current and future generations. We believe that virtue and beauty have a close relationship. By reading we gain knowledge. In knowledge we find things that inform our choices and beliefs. Therefore, as booksellers, we see that books have an aesthetic value and a heuristic value. We specialize in The Inklings, primarily "The Seven'": C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Dorothy Sayers, G. K. Chesterton, George MacDonald, Owen Barfield and Charles Williams. A sub-specialty is our significant collection of Christian Theology. But you'll also find works across the centuries, first editions, signed copies, and even modern books, too, across a broad selection of categories and genres. Customer service is of utmost importance to us, and our friendly staff is always happy to help. We assure our clients books of quality, as each copy is carefully graded and shipped with care. Located in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina, we can be found on Main Street in Hendersonville, North Carolina, (just south of Asheville). We are primarily an online bookstore, but we invite you to make an appointment for an on-site visit! Shelley and Son Books is owned by Stan Shelley. …
