Bemerkung:

Aus dem Nachlass von Michael Richter. Mit Namensstempel auf Vorsatz. Umschlag am Rücken nachgedunkelt, sonst gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - Inhalt: Parliamentary Representation of the Welsh Boroughs -- The Parliamentary History of Beaumaris, 1555-1832 -- Carmarthenshire: Political Affairs from 1536 to 1900 -- The Municipal Development of the Borough of Swansea to 1900 -- The Glynnes and the Wynns of Glynllifon -- 'Wyrion Eden' : The Anglesey Descendants of Ednyfed Fychan in the Fourteenth Century -- The Dominican Friary of Bangor -- Teulu Penmynydd -- Wales on the Eve of the Norman Conquest -- The Significance of 1284 -- The Threshold of the Modern Age -- Wales and England: Antipathy and Sympathy 1282-1485. - The collected papers of the late Professor Glyn Roberts, former Head of the Department of Welsh History at the University College of North Wales, Bangor, range from his early work in 1929 on the parliamentary representation of the Welsh boroughs to his penetrating but unfinished essay on the relations between Wales and England, 1282-1485, upon which he was working at the time of his death in August 1962. This book has a double purpose. It is meant as an affectionate tribute to a distinguished scholar whose sudden death, shortly before his fifty-eighth birthday, left so many fertile projects uncompleted. It is also designed to make more widely available a representative selection of his historical writings, many of them scattered in periodicals not now easily procured. (Verlagstext).
