The Life and Death of John of Barneveld, Advocate of Holland; with a View of the Primary Causes and Movements of the Thirty Years' War

London, John Murray, 1875/ 1874.

Small octavo, two volumes, xvi, 446 pages plus a frontispiece; and vi, 546 pages plus 2 plates (although the frontispiece has been bound in opposite page 400 in the second volume, and the plate meant to be facing page 440 is now the frontispiece).

Full crimson morocco extensively tooled in gilt, all edges gilt ('Bound by Mansell'); leather very lightly rubbed at the extremities, with one spine lightly sunned; an excellent set in most attractive bindings.

Provenance: James Richard Fowler (1865-1939), of the Adelaide-based wholesale grocery dynasty, with his ownership signature in ink in each volume (and his neat underlining and marginal marks in pencil on virtually every page). [2 items].
