Description

4to., First Edition, on laid paper; original dove-blue wrappers, sewed as issued, uncut, a remarkably bright, crisp, well-preserved copy secured for the future in custom-made solander case. THE ONLY COPY WE HAVE SEEN IN ORIGINAL WRAPPERS. Written when Bigland was Somerset Herald, this scarce and important work constitutes a plea for the consistent and meticulous recording of family history. A rare complement to his sadly truncated endeavour in producing the definitive history of Gloucestershire. OCLC 4919515.
