A chronological history of "The Times" starting with its establishment in 1785 by John Walter I. Lacking the dust jackets. Spines faded, preliminary pages shows foxing. Volume four, part II has a bumped corner. Else a near fine set. This massive set is more than just a newspaper history as it includes information on just about every important figure in literature during the period.
All titles are as follows: Vol 1: "The Thunderer" in the Making: 1785 - 1841. Vol 2: The Tradition Established: 1841 - 1884. Vol 3: The Twentieth Century Test: 1884 - 1912. Vol 4, part I: The 150th Anniversary and Beyond: 1912 - 1920. Vol 4, Part II: The 150th Anniversary and Beyond: 1921 - 1948. From the Thomas M. Whitehead Collection of Books About Books.
