Leather. Condition: Very Good Indeed. First edition. A first edition of this topographical guide to Cambridgeshire from Daniel and Samuel Lysons. Volume II, Part I. Illustrated throughout with thirty-three plates (collated, complete), including a coloured plate and a double-page map of the county. Magna Britannia, being a concise topographical account of the several counties of Great Britain (to give its full title) was an ambitious topographical and historical survey published by the antiquarians Daniel Lysons and his brother Samuel Lysons in several volumes between 1806 and 1822. It covers the counties of Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Cheshire, Cornwall, Cumberland, Derbyshire, and Devon. The work was curtailed in 1819 on Samuel Lysons' death. Unlike other similar works published in the 17th and 18th centuries, Magna Britannia remains of value today because the Lysons brothers included content on topics such as population, manufacture and commerce. They were also far less preoccupied than many antiquarians with coats of arms and pedigrees, and did not overstate the grandeur of the counties, as local topographers were apt to do. One volumes of ten only (the complete set can fetch up to 4,500). Bookplate of William Smith Hesleden to the front pastedown. Rebacked in calf with original tree calf boards preserved. Externally, generally smart, though with some rubbing, wear to the extremities and marks to the original boards. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright, and generally clean, though with some instances of foxing and offsetting from the plates. Very Good Indeed. Daniel Lysons; Samuel Lysons (illustrator). book. …
