London, Adam and Charles Black, 1912
'The Annals is undoubtedly the best-illustrated work of its class... Among the five hundred and odd illustrations which have found their way into these volumes, there is not one which has not its own value and significance' (vol 1, xxxvi).
First edition, signed by the author, one of 550 copies, with a warm inscription to the dedicatee lord eversley, and a later inscription by the dedicatee to a loyal friend; 3 vols, 4to (29 x 24 cm); over 500 illustrations, including plates, some of which mounted and coloured, folding map, plans, and textual figures, titled tissue guards, light spotting to endpapers, leaves slightly toned; publisher's blue cloth, armorial device and gilt stamped ornamental border to front covers, gilt lettering to spines, all edges gilt, rubbing to spine ends and corners. A very good set.
