Item description from seller

First printing of the second edition - revised and enlarged. Dated 1916 at the end of the book. ***INSCRIBED by the author on the second free endpaper in black fountain pen ink: 'To Halsell Segar with all good wishes from the author, Nov. 1916.' ***With thirteen quality half-tone photographic plates, including a frontispiece photographic plate of Medieval Manchester showing Hanging Bridge, Salford Bridge and Moat. Complete with Errata slip tipped in to the last text page at the back of the book. ***Very good in dark red decorative boards, with gilt titles to the spine and front board. The front and rear boards and spine also have a highly decorative black design and gilt emblem with "Sequor Nec Inferior" motto underneath the emblem and author's name in gilt. The boards are clean and unmarked, having been protected by the dustwrapper. Corners of boards slightly rubbed. Tail of spine slightly creased. Slight sporadic light foxing to the page block edges. Internally also very good, with clean pages - just some light sporadic foxing. Blue floral endpapers. Highly decorative black printed title-page with red emblem and motto. Black printed highly decorative chapter-heads and tail-pieces to each chapter. No creases or tears. Binding straight with no reading lean. Spine tight. ***In a very good buff-coloured black printed dustwrapper. The dustwrapper is virtually complete, with just a small chip at the head of the spine, not affecting the titles. Edges and corner tips of dustwrapper slightly creased and rubbed. Light surface mark to bottom of front panel. Tail of spine of dustwrapper slightly rubbed. Tiny nick to top edge of front panel. **xv-pages prelims plus 101 pages. 228mm x 142mm. ***Contents: Preface to the second edition; Preface to the first edition; The Collegiate Church.

In addition, this copy has the added collectability of having been inscribed by the author. ***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.…
