POLITICS IN EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY WALES

by Peter D.G. Thomas

Published by University of Wales. 1st. 1998

Nearly fine condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper. The author examines the political structure of Wales in the eighteenth century and sets it in the general context of contemporary British politics.

Wrapper is a little edge-creasing, with some fading.
