PITT VERSUS FOX: FATHER & SON 1735-1806

by Erich Eyck

Published by G. Bell And Sons, Ltd.. 1st thus. 1950

Good condition. The political history of England 1735-1806 as illustrated by Henry and Charles James Fox and the Elder and the Younger Pitt. Translated from the original in German, the history has a decidedly "liberal" German perspective. Eyck uses a series of coincidences to give unity to his ambitious tale: The elder Pitt and Henry Fox, destined like their sons to be political rivals, entered the House of Commons the same year, 1735. Blue cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w plates. viii and 396 pages including index.

Boards mottled and scuffed. Spine is faded/sunned, scuffed and worn at top & tail, title is rubbed. Text block and endpapers browned. A few foxspots present.

Stock no. 1831199
