"
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."
General wear and fading to covers and spines with some damage to the back cover of the 1947 edition as shown. Light ageing to endpapers with pages being clean, bright and well presented. The odd inobtrusive library stamp with example shown. Good condition overall. Please study photos to understand condition. Happy to provide more photos on request.
