Book First Edition
Half Morocco. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 3 volume set with the SUPPRESSED plates issued in a limited edition after the work was curtailed due to the authors death and only volumes 1 + 2 were published. These date as 1798 & 1801 with the last volume of plates and contents of plates pages, undated, but published in 1810. THE two volumes uniformly bound in a half maroon morocco with marbled paper boards, 5 raised bands and spines with full embossed gilt decoration, the spine edges and extremes rubbed, but contents tight, the gutter on volume one damaged as an amateur attempt to strengthen it at one time failed, but repairable, the last work & 3rd volume, just of 42 suppressed plates, is in a half calf blind patterned cloth boards, and slightly taller in size. Contents and CONDITION: Volume 1 has the large folding map of Stafford by W. Yates, (this repaired with sellotape), and 65 copper and aquatint plates mostly full page, or smaller two-three per page & vignettes. XXiv pp preface and contents + 434 pages + 34 page index at rear. Volume 2 has Xxxii page preface + 290 pages & a 20 page appendix and a 4 page list of all the parishes on smaller sheets bound at rear, with 59 engraved plates mostly copper engraved but one mezzotint and 2 or 3 aquatints, the map/plan of Wolverhampton is bound as the frontispiece but has browned and first two pages also browned, two front edge splits started, no loss or uneven edges, contents of both volumes are clean with some age off-setting to a few plates and pages. The last work published later and PRIVATELY for Henry Causton has another 42 mainly full page folio copper engravings for the 3rd unpublished volume that never was due to the authors death and these are extremely SCARCE. There is an anomaly with these there is a date been added in ink along with many of the plates in this privately printed volume, having titles added to many of the plates & dating this as 1842? I think this may be when it was acquired by the onetime owner of James The Marquis of Canaervon & Samuel CharlesAllsopp, Lord Hindlip, 2nd Baron Hindlip, both have an armorial bookplate in the first volume. There is a small circular rubber library stamp for "William Salt Library Staffordshire Library" the famous London Banker who's library is still the focal point for Staffordshire history. This, with two similar rubber stamps noted on a couple of pages, but discrete and not an actual PUBLIC library cancel. Measurements; 19 x 12 inches & 20 x 14 inches (3rd work) or 48 x 30 cm & 50 x 35cm. PROVENANCE With this set is an original auctioneers catalogue from 1976 of a sale of a Staffordshire Library sale held at Uttoxeter Town Hall on Aug 19th, where this set sold for £480 (with the then practice of NO buyers premium), the catalogue is priced. This equates to over £4000 with an 89% loss in that time frame.
