Zustand: Very Good. 3rd Edition. Thomas Hearne's fascinating compilation of essays from English antiquarians of note on a wide range of topics, from the economy and justice system, to castles, heraldry, and knights of the realm. First printed in 1720. Hearne (1678-1735) is probably best-known today for his diaries, printed in large part in the middle/late 19th Century. After a period of employment with Dr John Mill examining manuscripts, in 1699 he became assistant keeper of the Bodleian Library in Oxford, and promoted in 1712 to second keeper. He ultimately left the library in 1716 for his refusal to take the oath of allegiance to King George I, believing that the deposition of King James II in the Glorious Revolution of 1688 was illegitimate. These two volumes are in Very Good- condition overall. The full leather boards are somewhat bumped and rubbed, and the spines cracked and a little weak. The label to volume 2 is coming away. There is some browning to pastedowns and endpapers, and the first few pages of both volumes a little foxed. Otherwise the page blocks in both are attractive and clean, including the folding plate in Volume 1. A page before the contents page in Volume 1 seemingly removed but this is consistent with other copies.…

Originally published in 1720, one of a flurry of publications that came after Hearne's attempted prosecution by the University of Oxford over his preface to Camden's Annals which 'appeared to damage the University, and seemed to imply Catholic inclinations' (ONDB).
