What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

This book tells you how Britain built up a huge Empire overseas: in India, Canada, and North America. Many battles were fought to win the territory, and colonial trade brought English merchants great prosperity. You can read how the early colonists went about building a settlement, and why, at the end of the reign of George II, they were beginning to pull against their ties with the Mother Country. The book also covers the main events in Britain during the period up to 1763: the Jacobite rebellions, the Churchills' rise and fall, advances in science and medicine, and also the more gradual changes. By the middle of the 18th century, the Industrial Revolution had dawned. Agriculture had become more efficient, and many people had to leave the land for the towns. There they found beautiful Georgian houses, but also slums and the first factories. Other topics dealt with in detail in the book include: the Church, the army and the navy, fashion, the arts, travel and transport, sports and games and domestic life.
