It includes detailed inscriptions from the tombs and a discussion of the efforts to preserve the graveyard in the face of development.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Textured red cloth binging with blind-stamped borderlines and gilt coat of arms +bright and title centre front, this is bright and clean with no edge-wear but back has two very small holes to bottom of joint (look like worm-holes but no internal evidence of worming) and another small spot of cloth loss to top margins, a a few small spots/lines of slight pigment loss too but these back cover faults do not, in all honesty, amount to very much. 88 pp. internally immaculate being tight, clean, unmarked and untanned. The Preservation Committee's efforts were successful and the Bunhill Fields cemetery site is now a valued public space in Islington with the gravestones still standing. The preservation initiative was triggered by the Corporation of London's 16th century lease due to expire the following year with reversion to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. The burial ground had long been the place of internment for nonconformists and radicals refused burial by the Anglican church (including John Bunyan, Daniel Defoe and William Blake, so reversion to the Anglican ownership was a cause for apprehension. Despite the back cover problems, a wonderfully preserved copy of this very rare book. 14 cm x 22 cm.

On one side of a piece of wove paper roughly 28.5 x 24 cm. On aged, somewhat grubby paper, with 6 cm closed tear repaired with tape on reverse. Full-length diagrammatic depiction of a British army officer in uniform of the Napoleonic period (black boots with spurs, tight white breeches, green jacket with yellow trim and black hat with red plume), holding his sword horizontally in front of his face. A set of thirteen numbered angles are projected from the tip of the blade, some bracketed 'all these are strait in Front'. Others are described as 'flat'. Captioned at head 'Drill Motions.' The numbering and handwriting would appear to be in a hand contemporary with the plate, but the item is either a forgery, or it has been touched up in recent decades, as the border, plume and some highlighting would appear to be in red felt-tip pen. Docketed at the foot, in a twentieth-century hand, 'DRILL MOTIONS AT BUNHILL FIELDS.' The Honourable Artillery Company (the oldest regiment in the British Army) has its old parade ground abutting Bunhill Fields near the City of London.
