What Our Customers Say...
Description
Leather Binding
The fourth edition. Complete in two volumes. Illustrated, with twelve full page monochrome plates depicting notable literary figures. Robert Chambers was a Scottish publisher, author and journalist, who, along with his brother William, was extremely influential in mid-19th century scientific and political circles. The brothers were joint editors of their weekly publication entitled 'Chamber's Edinburgh Journal' and owing to the success of this went on to form their own publishing house 'W & R Chambers' with which this work was first published in 1844. This work describes the notable literary works of the period.
