Clarendon's work has been praised by the Edinburgh Review as 'one of the noblest historical works of the English Nation.' It stands out as one of the earliest comprehensive accounts of the British Civil Wars, penned by a prominent royalist figure. Edward of Clarendon served as an advisor to both Charles I and Charles II, and upon the Royalists' surrender in the summer of 1646, he went into exile with the future Charles II. During his exile, he continued to write and expand on his History of the Wars, eventually passing away in 1674. The publication of Edmund Ludlow's Memoirs in 1698-1699, detailing the Roundhead perspective, enjoyed significant success and triggered a wave of similar memoirs recounting the experiences of Roundhead soldiers during the Civil War.

Description:
This is a very early English appearance of Human, All Too Human by German Philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. The first English edition was published in Chicago by Charles H. Kerr & Company in 1908 and this edition, also being published by Charles H. Kerr & Company, was published in 1910. Meanwhile the first British edition was printed in 1909 and was included in part of a uniform set of Nietzsche's works published by T.N. Foulis. Nietzsche's first attempt at aphoristic writing lays the groundwork for his later works. The book introduces various concepts through brief paragraphs and sayings, hinting at his signature style. Good Condition. Green cloth with debossed design to front board and black titles. Binding is firm, yet title is slightly loose. Hinges are firm. Pages are lightly tanned and free of any inscriptions. Boards have moderate edge-wear woth some bumping to corners and fraying to edges. Spine has faded. Notable dark stain to rear board and a light stain to front board. Some darkening to edges.
