Descripción
First edition, 177pp., frontis., illustrs., orig. cloth, d.w. Fitch is today remembered for a handful of monographs and his valuable local history collections, some sixty volumes of which remain in the Suffolk Record office. Fitch was also a persistent and unrepentant thief of books, broadsides and manuscripts who betrayed scholarly access and personal trust, enriching both his own shelves and those of other collectors at the expense of unwary custodians.
