The National and Domestic History of England (Vol 3)

Pictures and short extracts from The National and Domestic History of England Volume III (A.D. 1399 – 1603), by William Hickman Smith Aubrey (1858 – 1916). The book is undated, but is probably 1878, since I found someone selling a copy with an inscription dated 1879. The engravings are mostly anonymous, and hence out of copyright; the author died more than 75 years ago, and so the text is out of copyright; any photographs were taken more than 50 years ago and are out of copyright. The status of signed engravings would depend on the artist, but I have not yet uploaded any such items. Check the individual image descriptions for more information.

You can also see Volume II; my Volume 2 is about three times as thick as my volume 3, and there is a gap between them, so I think in fact I have only the middle of volume III here.
