[QUOTE="Debora, post: 4257966, member: 1476"]The "Her Majesty" reference would date your book to pre-1901. (1901 was the year of Edward VII's accession to the throne when the firm was reappointed as King's Printer.) Before you spend a lot of time on this, are you sure your volume doesn't carry a publication date? It would likely appear on one of the front pages or end pages in Roman numerals. And, as to dating, in 1864 the firm had the warehouses at the following addresses: 1) 43, Fleet Street, London 2) 16, Elder Street, Edinburgh 3) 626, Broadway, New York. In 1870 the New York warehouse was at Cooper Union on Fourth Avenue. So your volume can't be later than 1901. With a little bit of internet research you should be able to determine when between 1864 and 1870 the New York warehouse relocated. That will give you your earliest date. Debora[/QUOTE]
