A rare letter from author Henry Hallam tipped-in to front endpaper

Henry Hallam FRS FRSE FSA FRAS (9 July 1777 – 21 January 1859) was an English historian. Educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford, he practised as a barrister on the Oxford circuit for some years before turning to history. His major works were View of the State of Europe during the Middle Ages (1818), The Constitutional History of England (1827), and Introduction to the Literature of Europe, in the Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries (1837). Although he took no part in politics himself, he was well acquainted with the band of authors and politicians who led the Whig party. In an 1828 review of Constitutional History, Robert Southey claimed that the work was biased in favour of the Whigs.

Hallam was a fellow of the Royal Society, and a trustee of the British Museum. In 1830 he received the gold medal for history founded by George IV.

The book is fine and well-packed. But slow to send and doesn't answer messages.

The book is as described and arrived in one piece but the package was very thin and arrived torn. I'm excited about the book, but please package better next time

Articolo come da descrizione. Imballo accurato per quanto riguarda il libro, suggerisco però una scatola più piccola, in cui l’oggetto non possa muoversi col rischio di danneggiarsi

Helaas is er geen mogelijkheid om op te halen, en de kosten waren vantevoren bekend. Dus helaas is dit onterechte kritiek.

Both books were badly bumped in transit, but that is more the fault of the carrier. Otherwise, everything ok.
