Marlborough: His Life and Times
Ryerson Press, Toronto, 1933-38, The first Canadian was published in 4 volumes in 1933, 34, 36, 38 respectively. All use the same setting as the English firsts, and probably used English sheets. Vols I-III bear the Ryerson Press imprint on spines and title pages. Vol. IV states Harrap. All four volumes are bound in a smooth purple cloth, unbeveled boards, and the spine title omits “His Life and Times” A complete set all from the same owner, a Mr. Rowe of Ottawa, who has written his name in ink and numerous notes in pencil on the endpapers, although in the case of volume I it appears the free endpaper was removed long ago. All are the correct Canadian purple binding including vol. IV. Dustwrappers have some losses at spine ends and toning of the spines. Vol II dustwrapper has repairs with old browned tape. (ICS A40ac).
