A retrospective on the year 1858 discussing the developments for the nation of the Welsh people. 'One of the main features of this volume is the publication of the MS. fragments, which, though highly valuable in a historical point of view, would in a few years no doubt have fallen sacrifice to the bite of time, were they not thus rescued. We are in possession of a considerable store of these documents, which we shall from time to time bring to light.' Cambria is the classical name for Wales, being the Latinised form of the Welsh name Cymru (Wales). With previous owner's bookplate to front pastedown. CONDITION In a full long grain morocco binding. Externally, generally sound but with bumping and wear to extremities, marks to boards and an institutional label tipped-in to front board. Internally, firmly bound. Bright but with the odd spot and mark to pages. With an institutional label to front free endpaper.

I bought this for the copy's associations with a family I'm interested in, thanks to the suggestions about provenance in the seller's description. The description and photos told me all I needed to know about the book - clearly the right family, though I have my own view on the individual who owned it - but that is part of the fund of an old book. It arrived promptly - a couple of days' delay caused by UPS - safely packaged and a good price, I think.

The shipping was lightning fast, arriving in 3 days from UK to US. The book was packaged with extreme care, very important for an antique book. The overall condition of the book is also unbelievable for its age, even better than described. I’ve purchased numerous other books from this seller, and the quality and price have always been outstanding. Great eBay seller. Thanks!
