'To which are added lists of the Lords presidents of Wales and the constables of the castles of Beaumaris, Caernarvon, Conway and Harlech'. viii+161pp. Extremely clean copy internally. Some inner cracking to f.hinge; rubbing to top and base of spine; bumping with small tears to corners. Decorative inlaid coat-of-arms on f.cover. University library bookplate - withdrawn copy.

Hardcover. Condición: Good. 1st Edition. Gilt and green coat of arms on front board; fold out colour frontispiece.Sections beginning to loosen. Bookplate pasted to front paste-down with some offsetting to front free endpaper. The pages were originally unopened. One pair has been opened carelessly with closed tears by the top of the spine. Two notes in ink and more in pencil adding omitted names or corrections. The loosely enclosed letter to a Lloyd Griffiths, dated 1889, suggests the corrections relate to members of his family. Instances of the name Lloyd are numbered in pencil. The pages of one central section have a 2" closed tear extending from the front edge inwards. A few other single pages have small closed tears. A thin line of damp-stain affects a few pages along the foot. Boards worn at corners and foot of spine, with 0.5cm section missing from frayed head and foot of spine. Pale staining to front board, and mild rubbing on rear board. Front joint cracked and loosened. Two splits across the spine causing slight flaps which have been re-adhered. Inner hinges cracked. Foxing here and there. Loosely inserted are: A list of incumbents for Caernarvonshire from 1873 (the date of publication, to 1890); a list in a different hand of Sheriffs of Anglesey updating to 1895 and signed by Lloyd Griffith, C.P.; three copies of a bookplate of the Free Library showing the Carnarvon(sic) Corporation Seal 1430 which is identical, but for a small difference, to the seal shown in the frontispiece. The glue backing of these has caused them to adhere, one to a page of the book, obliterating a part of the information there, one on top of that and one to the enclosed letter, which identifies the date of the seal and document shown in the frontispiece and describes the 'recent' rediscovery of the seal. Most of the writing is unaffected by the bookplate as it is stuck to the final page, which has less writing on it, and may be decipherable through a bright light. The book is weakened by use, but still all present, bound and holding. Good.
