About This Item
London: Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Co.; F.C. And J. Rivington; Lackington, Allen, and Co.; J. Mawman; Sherwood, Neely, and Jones; and Wilson and Son, York, 1811 Book. Illus. by 120 Engravings from Various Great Masters. Good Plus to Very Good. Full Leather. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Original full brown leather with gilt decoration on boards. This was the Family Bible of Ann and Thomas Flint Field (Cheesemonger), of Fielden, Bedfordshire, parishioners of Christ Church, Newgate. The two-page handwritten account on front endpaper of Volume I gives birth, death, and baptism dates for all 10 children. The fourth son, WILLIAM (VENTRIS) FIELD, born August 21, 1813, had a long and distinguished career in law, and tried many important cases. In 1890 he became a member of Privy Council and was created a peer, BARON FIELD OF BAKEHAM. Other internet references refer to mother and daughter (of same name) as Ann. Mother Ann was killed in a buggy upset in 1833. Father Thomas died in 1861. All three volumes are sound and clean. Volumes II and III appear to be original, with marbled edges and minor surface wear. Volume III has a water stain on rear cover. Volume II has a cracked front hinge,and two small cover scuffs, but is holding together well. Last leaf of Volume III is nearly separated at the gutter. Volume I is a little brighter, and varies slightly in gilt border design,and with all edges gilt, showing that it has been rebound. J. Robins, Southwark, is the original binder, with his labels in the last two volumes. Each volume weighs 10 pounds, or 4.5 K. Marbled endpapers. Scores of pages of history, definitions, and other helps precede the Biblical text, which is in large letters in double columns for easy readng. NOTE: The handwritten account lists William as the fourth son, which conflicts with the Wikipedia internet listing, which was taken from Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1911, Volume 10 (Which we have sold separately). Very heavy books - will require extra shipping. Photo shows spines of all three volumes and cover of Volume II. NOTE; Since this is a consignment, our usual discount of 20 per cent to the trade does not apply..
