First Edition, 2 volumes. 4to. 11.5 x 9 inches. Volume One [xii] + xlviii + 366 pp, Volume two, [viii] + 390 pp. illustrated with 18 copper engraved plates, 8 of which are folding. Quarter bound in contrasting cloth, lettered on the spines. An attractive copy, internally clean with the folding plates in much better than usual co…ndition, with only a few closed tears and slight offsetting. The first volume gives an account of Dover town and port from the time of Julius Caesar to publication, and the Second volume is devoted to the History of the Castle and the Customal of the Cinque Ports. Lyon (1734 - 1814) was minister of St. Mary the Virgin for forty=five years, and devoted his academic life to local research. Apart from anti-liberal pamphlets published during the French Revolution this was his only publication. It remains the most important antiquarian history of the town and port of Dover. The subscribers list accounts for 203 copies, so it is probable that no more than 250 copies were printed. KENT DOVER KENT.
