Shepton Mallet: Notes on its History, Ancient, Descriptive and Natural

Descripción

Lithograph frontispiece and eight plates illustrated by the author. First Edition. 8vo. [196 x 125 x 20 mm]. vi, [ii], 195 pp. Bound in the original green grained cloth, the covers blocked in blind, the spine in gilt, yellow endleaves, plain edges. (Slightly out of square and corners a little bumped). The preface is dated December 1859, and Library Hub dates it either 1859 and 1860. I am following the British Library in going for 1860. A very good copy, with the errata slip. The work is dedicated by Farbrother to his pupils and this is a presentation copy inscribed in ink: "To Miss Cox with the author's kind regards. Shepton Mallet. April 10 [18]60". There is a further inscription in a neat schoolboy's hand "George M. Mitchell, Waterloo Road, Shepton Mallet, Somerset". N° de ref. del artículo ebc8075
