A scarce collection of the records of Edinburgh City Council in 5 volumes, covering the period 1913-1918. A record of their activities during the era of the Great War. We have been unable to trace any other copies in institutional holdings.

Minutes of the Town Council of Edinburgh. Comprises volumes for the following years;

1913-1914, 1914-1915, 1915-1916, 1916-1917, 1917-1918 (5 Volumes total).

Published by The City of Edinburgh Council. All first editions (presumably only editions). 

A very good set of substantial folio volumes. Hardbacks, bound with tan calf leather corners and spines, with raised bands, and red morocco title labels. With marbled paper over boards. A soundly bound set.

Overall a very good condition set, although varies from good to very good. Some have scuffed boards and wear to extremities. Some wear to leather spines and some edges bumped and scraped. Text is generally bright and clean, with some age toning to edges. Endpapers with spotting and offsetting. Occasional minor faults, but really a pretty good set of scarce volumes for its age.

Text in English.

A very substantial set.

Dimensions: Each volume approximately 330mm  x 220mm x 35-55mm.

Weight: Approximately 12kg (the set - unpacked).
