COLLECTIONS FOR AN HISTORY OF SANDWICH IN KENT. With notices of the other cinque ports and members, and of Richborough.
Canterbury: Printed for the author by Simmons, Kirkby and Jones, 1792 ( but dated incorrectly 1892 as are all copies). Two parts bound as one. [10], viii, 877, [ 6] pages. Complete with 52 engravings of views, plans, pedigrees, maps etc., as listed; though some are bound out of order. Contemporary full calf, sometime re-backed with the original spine laid down. 275 x 220 mm. First edition. Some browning and foxing, but not as severe as is often the case. A very good copy of this scarce history, complete with half-title; the preliminary subscribers’ list, which was often discarded when bound, and the ‘Erratum’ pasted to the blank verso of the title.
