Two armorial bookplates (see provenance below), 2 miniature crested RFG monogram stamps on titlepage, [12]pp + 898pp + [32]pp index, verso of last leaf with repeated printer's mark. Collated complete. Side notes throughout with some erudite neat comments in pencil and a list of indexed page numbers written on an extra free front endpaper. Titlepage a bit dusty, narrow faint mark of former damp along front edges of final 45 leaves not affecting print, last 7 text leaves with light red marks at top where page numbers corrected by previous owner, but pages all crisp, handsomely printed, and without any tears. *A very attractive copy, which the 2 armorial bookplates indicate was formerly owned by Sir Joseph Henry Hawley of Leybourne Grange (d. 1875), and in 1911 by Colonel Sir Joseph Alfred Bradney (1859-1933) archaeologist and author of a multi-volume History of Monmouthshire (pub. 1904-32).
