Cloth. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good/fine. First Edition. Britain's maritime heritage is as dominant in the nation's history, development and current awareness as would be expected in an island race. Myths and legends, facts and fantasies, our coasts abound with the 'flavour' of the sea. Nowhere is this special aspect of our past more evident than in the south east corner of England where a remarkable group of ancient coastline towns etched their mark in our history by the creation of a unique confederation which retained stature and influence long after the purpose and value of the grouping had passed. To medieval Britain the Confederation of Cinque Ports was the country's - and the monarch's - guarantee of a navy. So, important was the availability of this impromptu force that much grace and favour was bestowed on those providing it and, until such time as a national Navy was formed, the towns concerned benefited hugely. Though in succeeding centuries the privileges granted to the Ports have greatly receded, the Confederation still played a ceremonial role at the last Coronation and the post of Chief Warden - currently held by Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother and before her by Sir Winston Churchill and Sir Robert Menzies - remains a treasured one. Today the grouping is more a useful reason for a thematic tour and promotion as a tourist area than its former cause and here in lies the reason for this colourful book. Oliver Mathews, who lives in the area, has captured the flavour and antiquity of the Cinque Ports in a series of beautiful studies which, with the accompanying text, will serve two purposes. The visitor will find it a useful guide, a stimulus to search out points of interest and a more pleasing memento than a dry history of the area whilst the resident will finally have a book of quality which truly demonstrates the beauty of the region and, thereby, probably their reason for living there.

Leather. Zustand: Very Good Indeed. An pleasing Shrewsbury printing of Oliver Mathews"s 1616 chronicle of Salop, regarded as the earliest history of the town, in a smart quarter calf binding by Delrue. In a smart later quarter calf binding with marbled paper boards, bound by Delrue, with the original wraps bound in. The 1877 Shrewsbury reprint of Mathews"s 1616 antiquarian text, reproduced from the transcription first printed by Thomas Hearne in 1722. A curious early history of Shrewsbury, tracing the legendary foundation and ancient names of the town through British, Roman, Saxon and medieval history. Oliver Mathews (c.1520-c.1618) was a Welsh apothecary, burgess of Shrewsbury and chronicler. He is credited with writing the first history of Shrewsbury, though at times the author's accuracy has been contested, with Hugh Owen and John Brickdale Blakeway noting "strange and unauthorised assertions," made by Mathews. Printed on the recto only throughout, with versos blank. An appealing local-history edition of one of the earliest accounts of Shrewsbury. In a later quarter calf binding with marbled paper boards, bound by Delrue, with the original wraps bound in.Externally, lovely. Very slight shelf wear to extremities. Light soiling and scattered spotting original paper wraps. Internally, firmly bound. Pages generally bright and clean. Light scattered spotting to first and last few leaves and fore edge with one or two minor handling marks. Printed to the recto only. Leaves frequently remain partially uncut to the fore edge. Very Good Indeed. None (illustrator). book.…

8vo., First Edition; contemporary dark green half calf, marbled boards, back with raised bands, second comparrtment lettered in gilt (faded to blind state), red sprinkled edges, marbled endpapers, a bright, crisp, clean copy. With ninetenth-century pictorial personal bookplate mounted on front paste-down. Much-needed reissue of the earliest dedicated history of Shrewsbury, whose ancient name of Salop became the traditional title for the county of Shropshire as a whole. A burgess of Shrewsbury, Mathews compiled a diverse range of local history literature of which the present work, written in 1616 shortly before his death, is the most extensive. It provides an account of the town's origins, ancient names, history from Roman and Saxon times, economic growth and regional importance. VERY SCARCE.…
