[GREENFIELD BOOKS]

[THE LONDON TIMES NEWSPAPER]. /THE TIMES / FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL 
SUPPLEMENT/. Single folio size volume bound in 3/4 leather over dark 
"pebbled" cloth. The Times Newspaper, London. 1904 to 1906.

This periodical, which began in 1904, was issued weekly with /The Times/ 
newspaper. This offering begins with the first issue, No. 1, July 18, 
1904 and concludes with No. 129, December 31, 1906. Each issue contains 
from six to twelve pages of detailed financial, banking, and commercial 
information. There is a comprehensive Index for the period July 18, 1904 
to Dec. 25, 1905, and another such Index for the full year of 1906. Such 
indices will be invaluable reference tools for scholars. Each issue 
normally contains a leading article, followed by a number of special 
articles, and regular columns on the money market, the stock exchange, 
freights and shipping, and the commercial markets; as well as the stock 
and share list, and summaries of colonial foreign finance and trade 
(including Canada and the United States). Later issues contain /The 
Time/s Financial and Business Directory, as well as many advertisments 
and Notices of share offerings and stock conversions. An article in the 
Feb. 20, 1905, issue on "The Compulsory Working of Patents" has been 
attributed to Winston Churchill. See

. A Library of Congress search does not locate any copies of this 
publication. The British Library does show a holding of numbers 1 to 147.

The text is printed on newsprint stock, which has now browned a bit. The 
binding of this large, heavy, volume has been allowed, in the past, to 
dry, and hence the spine has partially detached at the front joint. The 
binding is still quite dry and must be handled with care. However, the 
contents are clean and unmarked and may be easily examined. Given the 
ephemeral nature of such publications, it is quite unusual to find such 
a complete run, and in such good condition (the binding notwithstanding).

Price: $250.00.

Terms of Sale - The price is net in US funds. Payment by check or credit 
card (MasterCard, VISA, AMEX). We would ask that, if a purchase is 
contemplated, you first enquire as to shipping costs and options, due to 
the weight and size of this volume. Returnable within seven days of 
receipt if not as described.
