This is a fascinating study of British Debtor's Prisons and Prisons of War for British, French, and American Prisoners of War from the Fourteenth Century to the late Nineteenty Century.  Major Griffiths was the Inspector of Prisons for Great Britain. The book is in good to very good overall condition;  the beautiful 3/4 leather  cover is is clean with minor shelf wear including scuffing and bumping.  The spine is tight although cracked at the hinge, and the pages are clear and easily readable with minor yellowing.  There is no dust jacket. 

This is a wonderful book and it would be an great addition to anyone's book collection.

The book is about 6" x 8" x 1-1/4", 305 pages, and about 1-2 lbs.+/-  with packaging.
