Item description from seller

First impression of the true first edition. ***Very good in black boards with gilt titles to spine. Edges of boards slightly rubbed. Spine tight. No inscriptions. ***In a very good colour illustrated price-clipped dustwrapper. Vertical crease to front inner jacket flap. Edges of dustwrapper slightly rubbed and creased. No tears. Dustwrapper bright. ***196 pages including index. 224 mm x 144 mm. ***'The history of Lancashire has been said to be "greater in quality and significance than that of many a nation." The chapters in this book show the wide range of historical research being carried out in the universities into relatively unexplored aspects of nineteenth-century social history; only one of them has been published in any form before. ***The studies of the standards of living on Merseyside (A. T. McCabe), and of religion and the working classes (Dr J. Lea) are important contributions to continuing debates, other chapters are original contributions to our knowledge of county and municipal administration, the police, the press, entertainment an the entrepreneur of this period. From local studies of this kind are built up the regional, and national, mosaics of which history is composed.' (Quote from inside front of dustwrapper blurb). ***Of interest to collectors of local Lancashire history and folklore, as well as Victorian social history in general. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…
