hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Third Edition. Portfolio of Fragments Relative to the History and Antiquities, Topography and Genealogies of the County Palatine and Duchy of Lancaster, Matthew Gregson â" Third Edition Publication: London, George Routledge and Sons, 1869 Formatting: Folio, pp. xii, 426. Condition Report: Very Good. The original green cloth binding remains structurally sound and firm, exhibiting expected but moderate shelf-wear, primarily consisting of light rubbing to the extremities and slight bumping to the corners. The gilt crest of the Duchy of Lancaster upon the front board remains remarkably bright and unoxidised. The spine cloth is intact, though it displays some minor fraying and wear at the head and tail, while the hinges feel secure and tight. Internally, the text block is securely bound; the pages are largely clean with some mild, scattered foxing mostly confined to the preliminary leaves and margins, which is characteristic for a volume of this period. Overall, a highly attractive and robustly preserved copy. Catalogue Note: This 1869 third edition of Matthew Gregson's monumental Portfolio of Fragments represents a high-water mark in 19th-century regional British topography and local history. Originally published in parts beginning in 1817, this subsequent edition, expertly edited by John Harland, a renowned Lancashire antiquary, is widely regarded as the superior 'best edition'. It marks the first time a comprehensive general index and a special index to the numerous coats of arms were included, greatly enhancing its utility. Profusely illustrated with woodcuts, folding pedigrees, lithographs, and featuring a magnificent title page printed in red and black, it remains an indispensable reference for the genealogical and topographical study of the North West. Because volumes of this significant size and weight are frequently found heavily restored, ex-library, or entirely rebound, encountering this third edition still housed in its handsome original publisher's green cloth is notably uncommon on the open market. An exhaustive and visually captivating Victorian survey of Lancashire's heritage, Matthew Gregson's Portfolio of Fragments delves deeply into the history, antiquities, and genealogies of the County Palatine. Woven together from a vast collection of historical documents, local records, and heraldic details, this sweeping volume provides a vivid cross-section of Northern English history. From the lineage of the Dukes of Lancaster to granular local topography, Gregsonâs opus serves as both a beautiful artefact of 19th-century antiquarian scholarship and a crucial resource for regional historians.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Hardcover. This is the first edition of an interesting and monumental work that was compiled and edited by Matthew Gregson (1749-1824), who was born at Liverpool in 1749. He was many years in business as an upholsterer, and when he retired in 1814 had amassed considerable property. Although he had little education he took a deep interest in literature and science, and especially devoted attention to the collection of documentary and pictorial illustrations of the history of Lancashire. These he used in compiling his Portfolio of Fragments relative to the History and Antiquities of the County Palatine and Duchy of Lancaster, which he brought out in 1817 in three folio parts. The second and enlarged edition is dated 1824, and the third, edited and indexed by John Harland (1806-1868), a fellow antiquary specializing in Lancashire, came out in 1867. This work led to Gregson's election as a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries [Wikipedia]. In his preface, Gregson states that he did not attempt to give his materials for this book the "arrangement which the rules of historical composition require; as he has collected, so he may be said to have published, having in view the value of each individual document rather than the composition of a chain of historical events." Thus the result is a massive collection of information about the Duchy of Lancaster of every kind from textual history, to coats of arms, crowns, coronets, crests, etc. forming a useful basis for the history of that period. Bound in marbled paper boards with three quarter leather. The boards are scraped and the corners are very rubbed. The leather is scratched and rubbed. Two of the spine labels have pieces missing. Except for occasional spotting, the interior pages are quite clean and bright. There are two fold-outs. The one at the front of the book is fine. The rear fold-out has some tears from unfolding but still of use. With bookplate of Stephen Leslie Norris and ownership signature of Jane Noble Pilkington dated Dec. 1828. Very good condition. Measures 8 x 13 inches. 302 pages plus appendix with cviii pages. ENGHIST/122820.…
