The frontispiece is a hand colored antique plate, adding visual appeal and historical character. Really amazing condition considering the age of the Volume. The front endpaper bears the ownership inscription of Major Max Teichman Derville, a noted English public figure and local historian of the early to mid 20th century. Major Derville (1876 to 1963) served with distinction in World War I (awarded the O.B.E., Military Division) and later held civic positions including High Sheriff of Kent, Mayor of New Romney for 12 consecutive years, County Councillor and Alderman, and was an acknowledged authority on the history of the Cinque Ports and Romney Marsh. His historical writings (e.g., The Level and Liberty of Romney Marsh) and extensive personal library reflect his lifelong scholarship and service to local heritage.
