Lanercost Priory, Cumberland. The book was sympathetically rebound 25 years ago by bookbinder and antiquarian bookseller H. L. Wilson. The exterior (a period-appropriate 1/2 gilt-ruled brown calf over marbled paper covered boards) is virtually as-new, with an interior that is in very good condition. Generally clean and tight, with a faint waterstain in the center of the fore-edge of most leaves.. The stain's slight intrsion into the bottom edge of the images is discernible only on the verso of the prints. There is some staining/smudging in margins of text pages, that is more pronounced on several pages. Collated as complete, with the inclusion of an extra leaf repeating the last 2 pages of text. The 1821 date and the accompanying printer information has been effaced--perhaps by an earlier owner who tried to represent the book as a first edition (the plates do carry the 1810 imprint of the 1st ed.).. Second Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Illus. by Joseph Wilkinson and William Frederick Wells. Elephant Folio - over 15" - 23" tall. Book.
