Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

A sequel to two earlier books by the same author, it makes a crucial contribution to our understanding of later seventeenth-century history and the development of English government..
MoreLong description:
The Crown's Servants is a major new study of English central government and the royal court from the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660 to the death of Charles II in 1685. A sequel to the author's two earlier studies, of royal officials under Charles I (1625-1642) and office-holders under the Commonwealth and the Cromwellian Protectorate (1649-1660), it sets out to explore the extent to which the restoration of the monarchy undid the changes brought about under the Republic. The author looks at the institutions of government, its methods and procedures, the terms and conditions of service, and its personnel both collectively and individually. He considers the policies, tasks, successes, and failures of the regime, and relates these to the process of state formation and to the impact of the state on society. This is both the culmination of a lifetime's work and a crucial contribution in its own right to the history of seventeenth century England and the development of English government.
The third of three volumes on the seventeenth-century English civil service ... This book, like its predecessors, shows Aylmer's strengths as a historian: careful scholarship, meticulous use of sources and balanced and nuanced conclusions ... In all three volumes, Aylmer has given us a real understanding of how government worked, a far from simple task, and historians of the seventeenth century have very good reason to be grateful that he has performed it so thoroughly and so perceptively.
