With frontispiece, and folding plate. A first edition of this report on Staffordshire's endowed schools. With frontispiece, and folding plate. Published nearly a decade before the Endowed Schools Act of 1869, this work as probably a contribution to the Schools Enquiry Commission appointed to examine the 782 endowed grammar schools and report on the education provision. The act led to the restructuring of grammar schools in England in Wales. In a contemporary brown cloth binding. Externally, generally smart. Lightly rubbed to the boards, more so to the joints, with an centimetre long tear to both the front and rear joints at the head of the spine. Bumped to the head and tail of the spine, with a couple of closed tears to each, and a little loss of cloth to the tail. The front hinge has failed, but half of the text block is still connected to the spine. Internally, generally firmly bound. Pages are a little loose at around page 306. Pages are lightly age-toned, but clean throughout. Good
