Undated, but about 1860, these two huge books are absolutely superb. Each contains several volumes, with a topical approach to life, people, places, architecture and fashions, etc. in England from Roman times through to 1860. The author has collected thousands of old engravings to illustrate the work. A double page of text, followed by a double page of illustrations throughout the volumes.
Use the illustrations to compliment your genealogy or family history work. Understand what life was really like in old England.
