Edward Hyde, Earl of Clarendon (1609-1674), "was from 1641 onwards one of the chief supporters and advisers of the king. He followed Prince Charles into exile. At the Restoration he returned as lord chancellor but fell out of favour. He was impeached in 1667 and fled to France where he wrote his autobiography...and completed his History, The True Historical Narrative of the Rebellion and Civil Wars in England [first printed from a transcript under the supervision of his son, 1702-1704]...It is composed from material written at different periods and in widely differing circumstances and it remains a classic work. It is also an important contribution to the art of biography and autobiography, and memorable for its portraits of figures as varied as Falkland, Godolphin, Laud, and Strafford...[Clarendon's] works were presented to the University of Oxford by his heirs, and from the profits of the History a new printing-house, which bears his name, was built for the Oxford University Press" (The Concise Oxford Companion to English Literature).

The book addresses the history of Goodwin & Co., how the company manufactured and issued its cards, how to identify the year cards were issued, how to identify forgeries and biographies on all 521 players included in the set. This book belongs in the permanent reference library of any serious collector of baseball cards. An exhaustive compendium of photos and fascinating accounts of every player featured in the Old Judge baseball cards from 1886 through 1890. A must for baseball card collectors.
