History of the World, [With fine editing by Weech squeezing this history, from The Beginning of Life and The Emergence of Man to just before World War II, into one volume much of the purple prose has gone, but it does not teach us any more than what we already should know by now - that we do not learn from history],

Weech, W. N., (editor),

Edité par London, Odhams Press, nd, but from dates and comments in the text, where there is nothing of Britain's involvement in the second World War, I would guess 1939,

A propos de cet article

large thick 8vo, 960pp, small bust of Herodotus "The Father of History" on the title page, super endpapers with small line drawings illustrating people, places and events: in the front from B.C.3000 to the Birth of Christ, and on the back endpapers From the Beginning of the Christian Era to the Modern Age, some ink blots on one page, showing through to the reverse, but generally the text pages very clean and good, publisher's boards with a design blind-stamped on upper board and spine, spine slightly faded, cut fore-edge with dusty marks, not encroaching on margins, inside front hinge cracked, not affecting the endpapers but leaving the book a bit wobbly.
