The Diary of Henry Crabb Robinson: An Abridgement
xx, 348pp. Maroon cloth-covered boards, gilt titles on spine. 8vo. Bumped spine ends. Text block edges tanned and starting to fox. Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. Dust jacket has loss at heel, very heavy shelf wear and creasing, chipping to edges, not price clipped. An intimate diary of the journalist, barrister, Non-conformist, educationist and traveller that gives perhaps the most detached, impartial picture that we have of the English literary world during the first half of the 19th. Century.
