Item description from seller

Publication: London, Elliot Stock, 1894 Formatting: Large 8vo, pp. [viii], 305. Condition Report: Near Fine. The book has been exquisitely bound in half brown morocco leather over nonpareil marbled boards. The binding is exceptionally tight and secure, exhibiting virtually no shelf-wear to the extremities and boasting pristine board surfaces. The spine, featuring five raised bands and brilliantly unoxidised gilt tooling in the compartments, remains rich in color and unrubbed. The top edge is brightly gilt, while the fore and bottom edges remain traditionally deckled. Internally, the text block is commendably clean; the pages are bright with only the faintest marginal toning, remaining entirely free from significant blemishes. A superlative, highly attractive copy. Catalogue Note: First Edition, Large Paper copy. Published as part of the esteemed "Popular County Histories" series. This scarce large paper issue is distinguished by its superior text-block and wide, uncut margins. The work features a woodcut device on the verso of the half-title page. The volume has been handsomely bound in half morocco, elevating it from the standard cloth issues. Large paper copies of this comprehensive county history are infrequently encountered on the open market in such well-preserved leather bindings. Lieut.-Colonel Henry Fishwick’s A History of Lancashire offers a sweeping chronicle of the county palatine. Renowned as a leading antiquary, Fishwick navigates the historical evolution of Lancashire from its earliest traces through the dawn of the nineteenth century. This foundational text explores the social and political landscapes of the region, remaining a vital and highly readable resource for anyone captivated by local British history.…
