Volume has been fully conserved, fragile edges supported, end-bands re-sewn and all original paste-downs retained. Sir George Buck was an English antiquarian, historian, scholar and author. This, his major prose work, was left in rough draft at his death in 1622. His great-nephew extensively altered it and finally published it in 1646 as his own work. The authentic text of Buck's History was not published until 1979 by the editor Arthur Kincaid. A very good, complete copy, rare in any condition. Other images of the conservation of this volume are available on request. Wing B5307. ESTC R23817.…
