Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Antiquarian Repertory, Vol. 1 of 4: A Miscellaneous Assemblage of Topography, History, Biography, Customs, and Manners; Intended to Illustrate and Preserve Several Valuable Remains of Old Times In bringing before the public a new Edition of that truly valuable work, "The Antiquarian Repertory," the Editor and Publisher finds himself called upon to give, most respectfully, the reasons which have induced him to such an undertaking, and to lay the following statement before his reader, which he trusts will be found equally convincing and satisfactory. The Original Work, published in 1775, and compiled by the indefatigable and excellent Francis Grose, was received by the world with the utmost avidity; and has, in the course of a few years, become so scarce and valuable, that a copy can hardly be procured at any price. For the motives in which this compilation originated, we refer with pleasure to Mr. Grose´s own words, as given in his "Introduction," (which will also be found subjoined to this Advertisement,) and which, although tinctured with that shade of humour so peculiarly his own, is not the less apposite or satisfactory to the purpose of pointing out the advantages derivable to the community from the collecting and embodying of such scarce and valuable tracts, relating to the Antiquities of this Country, (whether in Ms. or print,) as had escaped the ravages of time, and were only to be found in the hands of the curious Collector, or locked up in Libraries, beyond the reach of the many.
