England: A History of British Progress
A handsome and remarkably comprehensive history of England by Cyril E. Robinson of Winchester College, published by Thomas Y. Crowell Company in 1930. This is the Third Printing, as stated on the copyright page.
Spanning nearly 900 pages, Robinson's history traces British development from the earliest periods through the modern era. Particularly appealing is the extensive collection of historical illustrations and cartographic material throughout the volume.
