What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, Scarce

First edition. Scarce work. A detailed and comprehensive record of historical English manuscripts and records, with reference to the abbreviation of Latin words, French words, names of places, names of Bishoprics, forms of English surnames, and a few Latin Christian names. Compiled by Charles Trice Martin, a British biographer and Keeper of the Public Records Office. With the previous owner's notes tipped in at the rear.

Condition

Rebacked with the original cloth binding. Externally, smart with light rubbing and bumping to the extremities. Minor fading to the spine. Internally, firmly bound with cloth tape reinforcements to the hinges. Pages are very bright with the odd small handling mark or pencil inscription. Previous owner's bookplate and bookseller's label to the front pastedown. Notes tipped in to the rear endpaper.
