The extremities are rubbed to varying degrees. The backstrips have occasional losses and chips. There are cracks to the hinges, joints, and text blocks here and there.

Cannon, with his bookplate on the front pastedown. A nice run of this important and influential LDS paper. Flake 4779. These issues of the "Millennial Star" cover the founding of the British Mission, through the expulsion of the Saints from Nauvoo, the founding of Deseret, the American Civil War and up to the early 1930s. "Millennial Star" was a newspaper penned for Saints in the United Kingdom. "The Star" provided the important function of disseminating doctrine and thoughts from leaders, and also informing the Saints of news from their American counterparts. Founded in 1840 by Parley Pratt, this paper enjoyed the longest run of any L.D.S periodical, ceasing publication in 1970. This important set of periodicals belonged to the prominent and widely influential Salt Lake City businessman Herbert S. Auerbach, with his notes present at the head of many of the issues. These notes are often in reference to the rareness of a specific volume. Herbert S. Auerbach was a Salt Lake City, Utah businessman widely known for his large personal collection of Western Americana and material relating to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His collection was the focus of two important sales, which took place in 1947 and 1948, and which resulted in two distinguished catalogues titled "The Distinguished Collection of Western Americana: Books, Newspapers and Pamphlets, Many relating to the Mormon Church,"produced by Parke-Bernet Galleries, and issued in two parts. These catalogues are viewed as excellent reference sources for early Mormon materials. The introduction to a later Respess Press catalogue states, "Mr. Auerbach's interest in pioneer lore was sparked both by his travels through the country as a mining engineer and by the tales his father and uncle told of their experiences in the West during the gold rush years and after. His grandparents had crossed the Plains in the early years of the western expansion, indeed his grandmother was the first Jewish woman to travel overland, and their stories enthralled him. With a background that included western pioneers, as well as first generation immigrants, Herbert made a devoted study of western history that resulted in one of the great collections of Western Americana ever assembled." Herbert, along with his brother, Frederick, founded the firm F. Auerbach & Brothers in Salt Lake City. The firm later became the Auerbach Company, one of the prominent mercantile companies of the region. In 1925, Herbert was elected to the Utah state senate. …

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: N/A. 2nd Edition. The second edition of Camden's Britannia was first published in Latin in 1586, and in Gibson's English translation in 1695. Awnsham Churchill brought out an issue in 1722. This imprint issued between 1722 and 1725. Complete in two volumes. Volume one: engraved portrait frontispiece, and nine plate illustrations depicting coins, two smaller illustrations showing Stonehenge and a second stone circle in Oxfordshire, eleven double page county maps by Robert Morden and two double page regional maps. Volume two has eight double page county maps by Robert Morden, one plate illustration of coins and relics, three further double page regional maps and two fold-out maps. Both volumes have further smaller illustrations in text, decorative head and tail pieces and initial caps. Title pages printed in red and black with decorative ruled double borders. Small elephant folio (15.5 inches tall). Volume one has a letter, dated 1948 bound in, from the British Library which states: "the copy of Camden's Britannia which you describe is evidently an unrecorded issue of the 2nd edition of 1722. The names of the various publishers given in the imprint demonstrate that this issue must have been published between 1721 and 1725, since their periods of activity limit the work to these dates. In the 18th century it was common practice for different issues of an edition to be published with different title-pages, the proprietors of each issue being alone named in its imprint. Thus the proprietor of Chubb's No CXV was Awnsham Churchill; those of your issue were the partners named on the title page". In a later - 20th century - library binding with replacement endpapers: red cloth-covered boards with gilt lettering to spine (very lightly rubbed at edges, a few light, scattered scratches). Reference library ownership plate on front paste down of both volumes. Occasional ownership embossed stamps throughout. Internally very neat, clean, bright and fresh barring a small mild ink stain at the top of p. xcv and some notes in an old copperplate hand on the chipped last page of volume two. …
