Seventeen b&w illustrations (reproductions of artworks, maps, etc.) in an eight-page section. Looking at a time under Hanoverian rule and Whig political dominance, when crimes like deer-stalking incurred the death penalty, the book "radiates into high politics and low, challenging the conventional, accepted accounts of eighteenth-century society" (back cover). Trade paperback, reading crease and other minor creasing and wear to wraps, heavy foxing to edges but pages bright, binding tight. Underscoring and/or marginalia in pencil observed on approximately 15 pages.
