Its guilds men were masterful and jealous of their rights, and the story of their wrestling with the counts of Alsace and dukes of Burgundy is told with so much spirit that we feel ourselves almost in the midst of the long struggle. The burghers were not often worsted, though they sometimes found their master. Their girl sovereign, Marie, is the sweetest figure in the portrait gallery of the city." ; charming illustrations in a fine binding ; slight soiling on cloth paste-downs, otherwise a beautiful FINE copy.
