Description

2 vols., 8vo., First Edition, wanting all advertised maps and plans as usual, some moderate age-browning (but nowhere affecting legibility); crudely bound in tan leather [sheep?], backs with red leather labels ruled and lettered in gilt, a good, sound working copy of a scarce work. The Directory was compiled by W. Parson. The index to the work as a whole in included in the second volume. With the contemporary binder's tickets of E.Orthick of Leeds (first volume) and J. Nicholson of Bradford (second volume) on front paste-downs; both tickets must surely have been carried forward from the original bindings. The maps and plans advertised by the publisher were actually issued as a separate volume and are seldom, if ever, present. Nevertheless, a very substantial body of information and an invaluable county reference. COMPLETE SETS ARE SCARCE. Anderson p.310; Boyne XV.
