Sobre este artículo
London: William Pickering, 1838. First limited edition (one of 250 copies). Octavo. xv, [q], lxxvii, [1], [2, errata and blank], 150, 6 [publisher's ads] pp. Publisher's diaper-grain burgundy cloth, printed paper spine label. Two contemporary presentations (one of which is a donation inscription to the Library of St. Michael's College), paper spine label faded to the point of illegibility) A very clean and crisp copy in the original binding. The ramifications off this planned marriage were of great significance for numerous reasons, The most important being that the marriage was part of broader attempts to secure peace between the two countries, which were often in conflict during the Hundred Years' War. But they continue to the present day as primary sources like Beckington's account are crucial for historians to understand the events of the past. They provide a firsthand perspective and details that might not be available in other records.
