Found an Old Book in the loft.
I've just found a copy of Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe in my loft. Nothing special I suppose, but it has a label inside saying it was presented to a Lizzie Cardell, Of Gillespie Road School for good attendence on June 30th.1900.
I can just about read the print because it is so small!To be born an Englishman, is to be a winner in the Lottery of Life.

I think the first 4 are a match, and list on them is up to $40 in Very Good + condition, any condition less goes for a lot less. Partridge was a large printing house out of London, they turned out a lot of copies of a lot of books. 100 years old isn't that old for books anymore.\\` ` ` ` < ` )___/\

Well done Ducky. It looks like number 5 in that list. Although this one has a gold crest stamped on the back saying, Prize Awarded by the School Board of London. And the Pic. on the front cover has a woman and slave in it with the womans dress done in a gold colour.
