An 8 Volume Set Contained in 4 English Language Books - Collectanea, Topographia Et Genealogica

This work is a miscellany of previously unpublished material related to genealogy collated by Sir Frederic Madden (1801-1873), Reverend Bulkeley Bandinel (1781-1861) and John Gough Nichols (1806-1873). This was a quarterly publication from 1834 and was published by subscription by John Bowyer Nichols and Son, printers to The Society of Antiquaries. The books are uniformly bound in contemporary polished calf over marbled paper covered boards, with the elaborately gilt decorated spines having two gilt lettered morocco title labels to the 2nd and 4th compartments. The books are some 24.5cms high, 16.5cms deep and they have a combined shelf coverage of approximately 22.5cms.

Provenance: The bookplate for John Edmund Dowdeswell is on the front pastedowns as is a small label for Pull Court Library and its shelf location and volume number within the library. Pull Court, Bushley, Worcestershire was built for the Reverend Canon E. C. Dowdeswell by Edward Blore between 1831-1839 and replaced an earlier mansion. The Dowdeswells had been prominent in local and national politics since the 18th century, with many serving as members of Parliament. The family sold the house in 1934 and it is currently a specialist school. Condition: Internally there is some age toning and the loosening of one leaf to Volume III. Externally there is rubbing to the extremities and some surface lost to the marbled paper.
