Beschreibung

An extremely useful 18th century work listing all the churches by region in England and Wales. 'As they now stand chargeable with, or lately were discharged from the payment of first-fruits and tenths. To which are added the names of the patrons to the several benefices; and the dedications of the churches. Together with an account of procurations and synodals, extracted from the records in the reign of Henry VIII. To the whole are subjoined, proper directions and precedents relating to presentation, institution, induction, dispensations etc'. John Ecton (died 1730), was an English compiler. Best known for his work "Liber Valorum et Decimarum; being an Account of the Valuations and Yearly Tenths of all such Ecclesiastical Benefices in England and Wales as now stand chargeable with the Payment of First-Fruits and Tenths … (Some Things necessary to be … performed by a Clergyman upon his admission to any Benefice)," 8vo, London, 1711. Of this once useful compilation seven editions appeared between 1723 and 1796, the best being that published as "Thesaurus Rerum Ecclesiasticarum". Elegantly rebound in half morocco with marbled boards. Externally excellent with very little shelfwear. Internally, firmly bound. Bright but with marginal foxing throughout, damp staining to the last few pages. Very Good. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers LTH20-D-2
