Decorative Cloth. Condición: Near Fine. No Jacket. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Ex-Royal Society of Arts Library sticker with the words Withdrawn From RSA to inside cover. Grey cloth with black decoration and lettering. During the two hundred years since our beginning, several brief histories of the Society have been produced. The first account of the Society's early years was written by John Hare Powel in 1829; he was followed by a succession of authors who focussed on the early national period. The present history is the first by a professional historian, yet it is by no means a dull theoretical tract stuffed with sociological jargon. Quite the opposite, in fact. The author, while basing his argument on a mass of detailed evidence, has produced an entertaining work which, once started, I found increasingly difficult to put down. The Society is proud to mark its bicentennial with this fascinating account of our past. (Frank R. Wallace Jr. President). 124 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
