*** BOOKS in good to very good condition. This work is in three sections spread over five volumes. Undated, but published to coincide with Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee of 1887. Publisher's original blue bevelled boards with gilt and black title on spine, and ornate gilt black and red stamped design on the front board. Back board has blind stamped colophon. All edges gilt. There is occasional foxing, mainly to the title page and prelims. Edgewear to corners and spine ends, otherwise very little wear; no hinge or joint damage. Altogether 1200 pages, each division has paper guarded frontispiece and five more guarded steel engravings or maps (these in colour). Each section has an index. The first division has the prospectus. The sections deal with Queen Victoria's life, the state of the United Kingdom, and the Colonial Empire; this was a nation at the height of its power and assured of its position in the world, without the jingoism apparent in lesser histories.
