Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. 1975 U.K. hardcover with dust jacket. Facsimile reprint of the 1890 original. Well-preserved UNREAD COPY is bright and clean inside and out with very minor shelf-rubbing only. Nice copy! 400 pp., with 90 illustrations throughout the book. "Seventy years after the death of George IV there appeared… two volumes covering the social history of England during the period of the Regency -- a time which many people could still remember with either love or loathing. This reprint consists of Volume One of this famous work, written by a man who had complete understanding of the time. John Ashton succeeded in writing a book about the people, for the people, and illustrating it profusely himself. All the facts were obtained from original and first-hand sources and some of the most interesting events are documented. For example, in 1814 the Great Frost Fair was held on the river Thames. The author describes in detail the weather conditions which brought about this momentous occasion. There was an increase in the price of coal since London then depended on 'Coal from Newcastle,' and the freezing of her river cut off supplies completely. John Ashton also mentions the habit of wife-selling in 1815. An unusual practice to say the least and not particularly profitable! Impressions made by the famous on the general public provide fascinating reading and the political events of the time also arouse much interest. Together with a large number of often amusing drawings, this book covers the period up to the end of 1815 and is well worth careful study.".
