Beschreibung

Covers slightly marked. Loosely inserted Thomas Greenwood's printed presentation slip, September 1901; with a later inscription, "To George Hayward from John Woolman[,] Watford with best wishes for his future good 14th July 1921". There are two title-pages. The first, dated 1901, bears the message, "The sheets in this volume represent all that were revised for publication by the late Edward Edwards, and are now issued for presentation, as a tribute to his memory, by Thomas Greenwood". The second reads: "Memoirs of Libraries; of Museums; and of Archives; (public and private); and of some of their chief founders, collectors, keepers, and benefactors. Part i, Mediæval; part ii, Modern:- (London, and Oxford). Second Edition, revised, continued to 1885, and (in great-part) rewritten." The imprint is "Newport, I.W. [Isle of Wight]]: printed by Brannon & Fradd, 'County Press' Offices, St. James's Square, 1885". Edwards struggled for years to finish the revision of his 1859 magnum opus, leaving only the first volume in type at his death in 1886. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 24M100078
