Item description from seller

First printing of the true first edition, published under the authority of the Prov. G. Master (as stated on the printer's page). Illustrated with seventeen tissue-guarded black and white full-page plates, including the frontispiece. With a one-page foreword by Prov. G. Master and a two-page introduction by the author of the book W. Bro. G. Trevelyan Lee. Loosely inserted is a double sided manuscript music sheet - any link to the contents of the book is unclear - perhaps just used as a place mark (please see scans). ***A very good copy in light-blue woven cloth-covered boards over a dark-blue cloth spine, with gilt titles on the spine and front board. The guilt is still nice and bright, but there is some significant damp-staining affecting the lower portion of the boards, both front and back (please see scans). However, the damp does not affect the interior contents. The boards are also slightly curved. Top edge of page block gilt. Fore-edge and bottom edge of page block rough-cut (untrimmed) by the printer. Spine slightly discoloured. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Internally very good with no ownership inscriptions - just some very light off-setting to front and rear free endpapers. All pages and plates clean. All tissue-guards in place. No dustwrapper. ***[8] + 131pp, illustrated with 17 plates, tissue guarded, including Appendix: List of Lodges in Derbyshire and Index at the back of the book. 256mm x 168mm. ***'Not only in Derbyshire will it be regarded as an exhaustive contribution to Masonic literature, but all who have studied the history of the Craft will feel themselves to be his debtors in having thrown so much light on Freemasonry of other days.' (Quote taken from the foreword by Prov. G. Master) ***A collectable freemasonry first edition title and uncommon. The book covers every aspect of the craft freemasonry in the county of Derbyshire and is a very comprehensive historical record. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…
