Titles and imprints with slight variation. 18 volumes in 25, thick 8vos, 728 engraved plates (including 2 duplicates) of a total 733 as listed in the various plate lists (see below); (note that a copy offered on-line contains only 627 plates; another offering provides no count of the plates at all); original rose paper-covered boards, cream paper shelfback, blue printed labels on spines; volume XIII, part 1 with a tear at the top of the spine with loss to the shelfback and part of the blue paper label; volume VIII with joints cracked and the boards holding by cords; a number of other minor cracks, chips, stains, etc., but on the whole a very good set, entirely bound in the original boards, of a most complicated publication. Full details for each volume are available on request, and much of the following from copious notes by a previous owner. The work evolved through four different iterations. First, it would have been printed in unfolded, unsewn sheets. Second, it appeared in parts, in printed wrappers. Third it, appeared in boards. Fourthly, and finally, it would have been fully collated and bound for permanent use. It is in this last form that the book is best known, and it is not uncommon as such. This work, which appeared in 15 volumes expanded into 25, was published between 1801 and 1815. It offered an illustrated, county-by-county narrative based on dense and compendious research-historical, antiquarian, topographical, genealogical, and architectural. It was financed by subscribers, although no subscribers list was ever included in the publication. Many of these subscribers doubtless had the satisfaction of seeing their names, houses and estate mentioned in the work. Some received flattering dedications, others acknowledgment and thanks in the introductory materials included in successive volumes. The previous owner has noted that "the present copy, to be complete, should offer all of the illustrations. It does, and it does not. The first indication of the number of illustrations being offered with the text comes on the labelling of volumes. The printed (blue) labels on Volumes I-XI and volumes XII-XVIII differ in size and textual information. The labels on the first 11 (actually 15 volumes, since volume X expands into 5 separate volumes) are twice the size of those on the remaining volumes. They record the work's title, the volume number, the counties covered, the number of engravings in the volume, and the volume's price. The smaller labels give only the title of the work. In 7 volumes the number of the illustrations designated on the label is the same as that found in the book itself. In 8 volumes it is not. In 5 of those 8 there is a deficit of eleven plates; in the remaining three there is a surplus of six. In neither case do we know, by title, which the plates are. Figures alone can suggest the labor behind the work. It required 10 different author/editors (other than Brayley and Britton already mentioned these included: Joseph Nightingale; J. N. Brewer; J. Evans; John Hodgson; Francis Charles Laird; Frederic Shoberl; John Bigland; and Thomas Rees). They were supplied with information by many dozens, even hundreds, of contributors and correspondents, drawn from every county covered. Sixteen publishers, whether individually or in partnerships, were engaged. For the illustrations, over 130 artists and over 50 engravers were employed-and these are minimum figures: they take no account of the numerous variants (or errors) in the spelling and initialing of names, which once sorted out could point to a higher count. The work began to swell and expand as it progressed, most notably in the section on London and Middlesex: this started in 1807 as a single volume, and by 1816 had reached its conclusion in four volumes (X; X Part II; X Part III; X Part III Continuation; and X Part IV). Beneath the broad tranquil surface of its production, there often swirled the currents of sharp editorial and production disputes, which doubtless delayed the work's progress. To our knowledge there is no extant copy of the work, in whole or in part, in sheets. and it is hardly to be expected that it would have been retained in that form. It is almost as rare in its wrappered periodical form. The Literary Hub mentions only one library with (odd) parts in printed, stitched, blue wrappers-the University of Wales Trinity Saint David. Parts of that same copy are bound in boards. Whether the present copy, fully in boards, is unique, requires further research. The interest of the present copy is the window it offers into the long birthing of the work. Like many works bound in boards it offers material that was almost always discarded when a work was finally bound in some permanent covering. In the present case, as they received the part in wrappers, subscribers were "recommended to have the Work done up in Boards only, as at the conclusion it will be necessary to unsew it, to arrange the Prints" (I, Advertisement). No evidence remains to indicate who put this boarded set together, or when. Was it assembled from individual wrappered parts? Did the publishers put it together over time as the materials accumulated volume by volume? Was it assembled and offered whole when the publication had actually concluded? One can add an even more detailed question: at what point were the printed blue labels that are on each volume produced-in the course of the work's production, or only at its conclusion? One of the main challenges for those producing the work was to retain subscriber and purchaser loyalty over the fifteen years of the work's growth. Whether in the form of prefatory Advertisement, Address, or Remarks, intended for subscribers and the public, the writers and publishers did all they could to keep readers informed of, and loyal to, the work's progress. We can infer from the present copy that the work's periodical issue was irregular and unpredictable. The strain of preparing copy by announced dates, and the ris. …
