[GREENFIELD BOOKS]

*[British Political Sources: Political Party Year Books]. /THE LIBERAL 
AND RADICAL YEAR BOOK / THE LIBERAL YEAR BOOK/* A run of 41 
uniformly-bound facsimile volumes of an important historical 
publication. Each volume bound in green buckram with gilt titles. The 
Harvster Press, Brighton, UK. 1972 to 1974. 8vo. A few volumes are 
lightly scuffed and some have a former owner's bookplate on the front 
endpaper; else each in very good to near fine condition.

First published in 1887, ten years after the establishment in England of 
a national Liberal Party, this is an invaluable and comprehensive 
historical, statistical, and political publication. The volumes cover 
the years from 1887 to 1889, 1905 to 1932, and 1934 to 1939. Each volume 
was reproduced from the best original copy available, although the 
publishers (Harvester Press) observe in a prefatory note to the 1887 
edition that "the original, in the British Museum, [had] been tightly 
re-bound and this has affected the reproduction of the inner margin of 
some few pages. Extensive inquiries have failed to locate an alternative 
copy for reprinting.." Each volume typically includes complete 
information on the organization of the Liberal Party, composition of 
both Houses of Parliament, the various government departments, a summary 
of legislation passed the previous year, a riding-by-riding account of 
the previous general election, or by-elections, including candidates and 
vote counts, and an enormous amount of financial and budgetary data.
