"
The Annual Register (originally subtitled "A View of the History, Politicks and Literature of the Year ...") is a long-established reference work, written and published each year, which records and analyses the year's major events, developments and trends throughout the world. It was first written in 1758 under the editorship of Edmund Burke, and has been produced continuously since that date. The Annual Register was created in 1758 by the publishers James and Robert Dodsley. On 24 April 1758 the Dodsley brothers signed a contract with Edmund Burke (1729-97) to write and edit the material for The Annual Register, which was conceived as an annual publication which would review the history, politics and literature of the day."
Original bindings with general wear and fading. Some light foxing is present with the vast majority of pages across all volumes clean, bright and well presented. Most volumes contain the bookplate of Osmond de Beauvoir Priaulx - see provenance notes in description. These books became part of the Priaulx Library with some related markings. Bindings are strong across all volumes with no loose pages. Good condition overall. Please study photos to understand condition. Happy to provide more photos on request.
