London: Weidenfeld & Nicolson 1967. (Hardcover) 128pp. Very good plus in very good dust jacket. Illustrated endpapers, illustrations, notes, index. There is a previous owner's name in ink on the front fixed endpaper and the dust jacket is chipped and edgeworn including a half-inch wide chip on the front panel and two closed tears at the bottom near the spine. "This series consists of vividly written, authoritative monographs on key groups of men and movements of the past: religious sects, political movements, military and professional elites, artistic coteries, castes, cults and institutions... Highwaymen is an instructive and entertaining study of the origins and exploits of the 'gentlemen of the road' of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the way in which they were finally suppressed, and the celebration of their legend in broadsheets, ballads, novels and plays".
