Description
A magnificent book comprises around 1,680 pages; it does what it says in the title. The book is approximately 15 1/2 " x 10 " - depth approx 4". Quite heavy, my copy has what appears to be an Earl's coronet stamped into the front & rear cover. The cover is in dark leather, showing the passing of some 330 years since this stunning book left the printer - it must have been a phenomenally expensive piece of work. The number of individual typeset letters must run into the millions; each scroll had to be read, typeset & proof read! You could not make this book today. I find it mind-blowing to read through 400 years of English history; what made this country is in that book and I count myself very lucky to have a copy of what seems to be a very rare book.
