Publisher's Synopsis
Originally published in 1894, this early work on 'The country gentlemen's catalogue' is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. With sections on early postage costs, Weights and measures and barometer instructions plus many more this unusual book will appeal greatly to the historian. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
