The HISTORY of RICHMOND in the COUNTY of YORK. By CHRISTOPHER CLARKSON, F.S.A.

"If to trace the progress of former ages through a long succession of years, and to rescue from oblivion some of those noble structures which were the pride and ornament of our ancestors, be not always attended with the wished-for success, still many of the striking features which distinguished them in their origin may be preserved, and their mutilated remains kept from sinking into total oblivion."

Quarto. Full Morocco extra, uncut, Top Edges Gilt.

1821

The rarity of this work is not sufficiently known. Soon after the death of the Author, his son committed the whole of the remaining copies to the flames. The Plates and Woodcuts were executed by a Richmond artist, and though very faithful, they are only middling as works of art, Mr. Robinson not being an engraver by profession. The typography also shows its country origin. It contains the best description of Richmond, much as this interesting country has had done for it, both by writers and artists.

Joseph Hunter was born in Sheffield in 1783. In 1809 he became minister of Presbyterian Dissenters at Bath, where he resided twenty-four years. In 1833 he removed to London, on his appointment as Sub-Commissioner of the Public Records, of which he was made Assistant Keeper in 1838. He died in London in 1861, and was interred in the churchyard of Ecclesfield, near Sheffield, the scene of his earlier labours.
