[books at hasbeanebooks.com]

Greetings colleagues,

You would think this title is easy to find in first edition, but not so. 
And our copy of this fairly delicate book is as nice as it gets. Please
take a look....

Kind regards, Karen Cinquemani

The Rothschilds: The Financial Rulers of Nations by John Reeves
Sampson, Low, Marston, Searle, and Rivington, 1887. First British Edition.
Crown Octavo (7 1/2" x 5 1/8"). xiv. Preface; Contents (including summary
of each chapter); List of Illustrations. 381pp. Dark green cloth hardcover
with gilt spine title and chartreuse solid endpapers. Fine laid paper, top
edge rough cut. With black and white illustrated frontispiece ("The Old
House in Frankfort") and nine additional full-page black and white
sketched portraits of the notable Rothschilds.  An engaging account of the
early members of the great Jewish banking family and their successful
investment practices, this is the first biography of the Rothschild family
written in English.

Near Fine condition. Faint shelf rub on covers; spine ends bent inward
with very light rubbing; slight fraying at tips of boards; mild spotting
on endpapers; front hinge just starting but firm; an occasional small
foxed spot, contents very clean and bright. No previous owners' names or
marks. A remarkably pristine volume, apparently quite scarce in its
original binding.
