first edition Hard Cover
1845 · Hereford
by Richard Johnson
Hereford: Printed at the Times Office, 1845. First Edition. Hard Cover. Good+ binding. Richard Johnson was Hereford's town clerk from 1832 to 1868, and as such he was ideally situated to record events in this Cathedral City of the Western part of England during the Industrial Revolution. He does none of that. Hereford's interests lie in centuries past. Interesting nonetheless, recording punishments in the years of Elizabeth I, and analysis of the will of Bishop John Scorie who died in 1585 in Herefordshire, and the like. Heraldic bookplate to the pastedown, and a previous owner signature date 1845 on the endpaper. Good+ binding. (Inventory #: 268580)
