James Bryce, 1st Viscount Bryce, OM, GCVO, PC, FRS, FBA (1838 - 1922), was a prominent British academic (Regius Prof. of Civil Law, Ox.), jurist, historian (expert on Rome), MP and ardent Liberal politician. His intellectual influence remains greatest in The American Commonwealth (1888), an in-depth study of American politics that shaped the understanding of America in Britain and the United States. This edition includes the sometimes suppressed section on the Tweed Ring in New York City (V.2: pp.338-353). The American Commonwealth was first published by Macmillan in three volumes in 1888. Howes B-906: "Remains the most authoritative study of American political and social institutions.".

Conditions de vente et de livraison

Conditions g�n�rales de vente

We are professional booksellers, autograph dealers, and antiquarians (members of the ILAB & ABAA) who began in business in 1969. We pride ourselves on providing books, autographs, art, and artifacts in the Best Available Condition (typically Fine, Very interesting, Scarce, or Unusual items).

Our descriptions strive to be scrupulously accurate. Whenever possible, we detail flaws, include photographs of stock listed (rather than "stock photos"), and provide some background on the authors, creators...

Conditions d'exp�dition

All our books and items are carefully packed. They are usually shipped in Manilla padded-envelopes or sturdy boxes with additional bubble wrap, styrofoam "popcorn," or other protective layers. We strive to ship within 24 hours of receiving orders--allowing extra time for weekends or holidays.

Books shipped within the United States are usually shipped via USPS Media Mail. Postal charges for Media Mail typically run from $3.17 to around $5. When site-posted charges--usually $4.95--exceed actual USPS charges, any overage helps to defray our packaging and shipping costs.

Those books requiring extra-swift transport or -care are often shipped via USPS Priority Mail. Postage charges usually average $13.50 for up to precisely 2 pounds, but rapidly escalate thus possibly making it necessary to contact clients.

Autographs & manuscripts, art & artifacts are usually shipped in stout boxes with padding and reinforcement. Because Media Mail rates do not then apply, we normally use USPS Priority mail, but also ship via UPS and FedEx. Extra charges for insurance are often necessary for valuable items.

Overseas' shipments (as to Europe) weighing with packaging Not more than 2 pounds usually incur postage charges of between $13.50 to $25. Those between 2 - 4 pounds average around $35. Packages of more than 4 pounds usually need to be quoted.
