{"product_id":"annals-of-cambridge-charles-henry-cooper-9781108000307","title":"Annals of Cambridge: Volume 1","description":"Charles Henry Cooper charted over half a millennium of life at Cambridge in the five volumes of Annals of Cambridge. Cooper practised as a solicitor in Cambridge, and was also town clerk from 1849 until his death in 1866. He was a keen historian and devoted a great deal of time to archival research, particularly into local history. Drawing on extensive public and private records, including petitions, town treasurers' accounts, restoration records, death certificates, legal articles and letters to ruling royalty, Cooper compiled a comprehensive chronological history of Cambridge, documenting the 'city of scholars' through its tumultuous political and religious growing pains. It was published in parts, in the face of considerable opposition from the university authorities, but was eventually acclaimed as an authoritative account. This first volume, published in 1842, spans the centuries from the town's beginnings to the surveys of the colleges in 1546.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Henry Cooper,Cooper Charles Henry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108000304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108000307\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/20\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 492\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.10d","brand":"Charles Henry Cooper","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47423402737919,"sku":"9781108000307","price":66.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b3e0caa9-91fd-4b95-8336-d7dd581cdbb1.jpg?v=1761528568","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/annals-of-cambridge-charles-henry-cooper-9781108000307","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
