Description

Remarkable account of life as a royal tenant farmer in the 1860s and 70s, which started well but ended in acrimonious dispute with the Prince of Wales and his land agents. "No one can be more pleasant and agreeable than His Royal Highness, if you go with him in everything, and do exactly what he likes; on the other hand he can be very unpleasant indeed, if you are compelled to do what he does not like." All in VG clean and bright internal order bar marking and messages to title page, including two signatures and a note in ink (!) beginning "Very scarce..." It is, but there's no need to record it thus. Otherwise, endpapers are split, but bindings holding well. Bound in brown cloth, a little worn to edges and marked to rear, with bright gilt titling to spine. 12mo. 235pp
£95.00
