A first edition set of this informative work on monumental brasses from British clergyman Reverend Herbert Haines. Complete in two volumes. First edition. With a colour frontispiece to volume one and two hundred in-text images across the volumes. A detailed and comprehensive introduction into the study of monumental brasses, with reference to ecclesiastical costume, emblems and devices, and descriptions of brasses of the fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth centuries. Including a list of the monumental brasses in the British Isles and a selection of their inscriptions. Written by Reverend Herbert Haines, a British clergyman and antiquary. Previously held in the library of Donald Reeve Buttress, an English architect who was Surveyor of the Fabric of Westminster Abbey and is now Surveyor Emeritus. In the original full cloth binging.

A 5" split at the front joint of volume two resulting in the board loosening. Part of the front hinge failed with the remaining tender. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright with the odd small spot. Light age toning to the extremities. Contemporary ink inscriptions and previous owners' bookplates to the front pastedown and endpapers. Good.…
