About This Item
Oxford: Printed at the Clarendon Press by J. Cooke and S. Collingwood, 1820. Leather_bound. Very Good. 10 1/4 x 12 1/8 inches. Large quarto. BCP: A - 3h in 4s. Griffiths 1820/8. Bound with a Cambridge printing of the Brady & Tate Psalter dated 1810. Printed on very good thick paper with handwritten notes of changes in the liturgy due to changes in the Royal family, including the accession of Queen Victoria. A few marginal spots and apparent sooting to the extreme outer margins, but otherwise bright and clean, with the exception of the Communion which has a liquid stain (apparently from communion wine). Endpapers with some marks in contemporary ink. Marbled endpapers. Bound in contemporary reverse calf with blindrolled borders. Front cover with large red morocco label with gilt rolled border and (apparent dedication) text "Mansfield Woodhouse. John Beardall and Thomas Huntingdon Churchwardens, 1826." Spine with five raised bands. Spine leather split though binding still firmly holding with repair. Covers rubbed with losses at edges and corners. A very peculiar altar book which uses modern typeface but archaic lettering and spelling conventions, resulting in some curious passages, and with an interesting collection of notes on the evolution of the liturgy.
