Provenance Notes
Exchanged for books bought at March DW sale - cost approx £92.
Ivor priced the book at £175 after I said I thought the copy recently sold at DW was too dear at £150. He said he'd intended to price it at £250 because of the rarity of part 2.

Nice copy in black half leather binding
Aubrey's Collections for Wilts.
Publisher: London : Printed for J. Davy, Queen Street, Seven Dials, 1821-1838.
2 parts bound in one: illustrated with woodcuts, coats of arms, geneology tables.
Note: Collections for Wilts Edited by Sir Thomas Phillipps.
General title page to vol 2 has imprint:MH [Middle Hill] : Typis Medio-Montanis, impressit C. Gilmour, 1838 .
It was the intention of the editor to provide an appendix of plates and descriptions of arms (cf. Preface, v. 2); but although a total of 26 lithograph plates were printed (11 for v. 1 and 15 for v. 2), and added to a very small number of copies, they were apparently never formally issued. Vol. 1: iv, 136 p.; v. 2: [8], 124 p. Vol. 2 has added title page:
An essay towards the description of the North division of Wiltshire. By me, John Aubrey of Easton Pierse.
Very Good.
