From the cover: Historic Floors introduces an important and largely neglected subject and considers conservation methods in a European context. It traces the history of some of the great floors of Europe from the fourth century BC and outlines the development of mosaic, tiled, marble and marquetry floors in secular buildings. The early Christian pavements in basilicas, temples and cathedrals, the creation of medieval tiles, ledger stones and monumental brasses, their destruction by iconoclasts and recreation during the Gothic Revival, are also discussed. Leading authorities consider the latest methods of recording and repairing historic floors. Management policies to protect over-visited sites are considered in order to contain the damage caused by the dramatic increase in tourism throughout Europe.

Cox II, p.479 (citing Dorrington as author). Sabin 66952. Howgego V, L45. Ullrich, pp. 118-122. Charming hand-colored edition of this popular tale relating a fictitious British hermit's escape from apprenticeship and subsequent life on a deserted island off the Pacific coast of Mexico. First published serially in the Public Intelligencer, a weekly newspaper, then in book form in 1727, and eventually "rivalling Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, of which it is possibly the best imitation." (Howgego). The book's author remained anonymous until Arundell Esdaile discovered a rare edition of 1727 in which the dedication is signed Peter Longueville, to whom the work is now attributed. Gove cites a number of literary allusions, attesting to the tale's popularity. Among these are Dickens's Martin Chuzzlewit, in which John Westlock complains that his chambers are "nothing but . . . the sort of impromptu arrangement that might have suggested themselves to Philip Quarll or Robinson Crusoe." See also Gove, quoting Bonner, that the author "transferred many passages unblushingly from Dampier [A New Voyage Round the World]." N. B.
