The corners are bumped with some rubbing and fraying and there is some light surface wear to the front and rear panels. Name of a previous owner in ink to the title pages - Lady Wale of Shelford near Cambridge - and there is the name of an earlier owner above this. Browning and some spotting to the endpapers. Volume I has a little more wear to the spine than the other volumes and there is a little edge creasing and tearing to the fold-out illustration of Troy. Volume II has two pages which protrude slightly with some edge wear. Volume III has quite heavy staining over half the surface of the front panel and a large stain which affects the top half of the pages through to page 30 and then diminishes gradually through to page 150 with these pages only a little affected. There is also a little creasing to the top corners of pages 77 to 86. Volume IV has an eight page section of the text which protrudes a little with some edge creasing. There is light browning to the pages with some spots and marks in places and in particular to the pages at the front of the books but the pages are otherwise generally unmarked. Heavy item due to it being four volumes so there will be an additional postage charge for overseas orders.

OCLC: 22874447 Kress: 07956. 1743 35th/14th ed , With Provenance MAGNAE BRITANNIAE NOTITIA or, The Present State of Great Britain; with diverse Remarks upon the Ancient State thereof By John Chamberlayme Author Bio: John Chamberlayne (c. 1668-1723) was the son of Edward Chamberlayne (1616-1703) who authored Angliae Notitia (1669) and other works. John continued and expanded his father's survey of England to encompass Britain and updated the lists/offices, evolving into Magnae Britanniae Notitia. He was a Fellow of the Royal Society. His work is regarded as a standard reference of its period for the institutional establishment, offices and government of Britain. Provenance: Christopher Saunders Collection ? renowned collector of early cricket references and early English imprints on games, sport & national character. This title was long prized in that circle for its place in the printed history of cricket. Early engraved bookpile bookplate of Thomas Percival, Esquire (Franks 23293) ? the plate attributed to Dr. Thomas Percival (1740-1804), F.R.S., pioneer of medical ethics. A high-quality, recorded plate. Synopsis: Begun by Edward Chamberlayne in 1669 (Angliae Notitia) and steadily expanded by his son John Chamberlayne, F.R.S. By mid-century it had become the standard printed digest of the British establishment ? effectively a governmental and social almanac of the nation. Two parts in one volume: I. England (South-Britain) ? including descriptions of the nation, manners, revenues, courts, universities, religious establishments, and "Recreations" (with the early printed reference to cricket). II. Scotland (North-Britain) ? parallel treatment. Followed by the substantial General List or Catalogue of all the Offices and Officers Employ'd in church and state, including the royal household. A keystone handbook to Georgian Britain's machinery of state ? civil, ecclesiastical, military, commercial, and courtly ? and a mine of primary data for historians and genealogists. Cricket interest Includes one of the earliest printed appearances of the word "Cricket" in English literature ? predating the codification of the Laws and placing the game firmly among the recognised national recreations of the Georgian era. A touch-stone reference for collectors of early cricket material.
