Vol I xvi +400 +[36]pp index (Henry I to accession of Richard II); Vol II 427 +[28]pp index (Richard II to Edward IV); Vol III 420 +40pp index (Edward V to Queen Mary); Vol IV 542 +34pp index + 22pp separate index to the Appendix (Elizabeth to death of James I plus a long Appendix pp322-542). Gathering 7R is a single leaf but page number & catchword are correct. In Vol IV the final gathering of the Appendix is in 3 with THE END so there is a blank missing, the index starts a new gathering. The Portrait of Queen Elizabeth at the beginning of Vol I should probably be at the start of the last volume. *These volumes contain primary sources for the history of England and have printed marginal dates & notes as well as explanatory…

London: For the author sold by Weale & Pickering, 1844. Hardcover. Fair. Plates (15). . Folio green blindstamped and gilt lettered cloth (soiled worn and covers detached and lacking spine) 16pp +plates. Subscriber's list. *The house is mentioned in Shakespeare's Richard the Third, and the dramatist in fact lived near by. It was bought by Sir Thomas More although at the time of his martyrdom he had moved to Chelsea but later his relations William Roper and Rastell leased it. In later years it was used as a warehouse and the throne room became storage space. Some dusty fingering, some foxing & browning & even a few marginal tears but quite a scarce book and still tight and worthy of rebinding. Much research on the remnants of early traces and the Shakespeare connection make this a desirable and scarce item.
