This ex-library copy presents in a tight and robust binding, bearing the typical institutional markings. The original dark blue cloth boards remain structurally sound but exhibit noticeable rubbing and superficial scuffing, most prominently to the rear board. Internally, the pages are generally clean and bright, albeit with institutional ink stamps prominently applied to the top and bottom edges of the text block. The original dust jacket has been remarkably well-preserved beneath a clear protective mylar sleeve, retaining its bright, unfaded colouration with only minimal edgewear. Despite the institutional provenance and exterior board wear, the volume remains a very sturdy, highly readable reference copy with no compromise to the binding's integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/b\u003e: Volume XII(2) of the monumental and highly regarded \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"68\"\u003eEnglish Historical Documents\u003c\/i\u003e series, with David C.
