About This Item
74 and 75 Piccadilly, London: John Camden Hotten, 1873 In the original purple cloth, beveled edges, blind tooling, corners and edges a little worn and bumped, gilt coat of arms to front cover. Spine has faded, title in gilt, edges bumped and worn. Internally, half title, folding frontis, [7], (vi-viii), [2], [1], 2-161 pp, [1], minimal foxing, brown endpapers, bookplate to fpd (HW Adnitt).
Title continues: Or, Chronological lists of Lords-Lieutenant, Custodes of Rotulorum, Sheriffs, and Knights of the Shire, for the counties of Anglesy, Caernarvon and Merioneth, and of the members for the Boroughs of Caernarvon and Beaumaris. To which are added lists of the Lords Presidents of Wales and the Constables of the Castles of Beaumaris, Caernarvon, Conway and Harlech. With notes by William Watkin Edward Wynne.
BREESE, antiquary, had an important part in the planning and development of the new town of Portmadoc and gained general confidence by his ability, integrity, and judicial temper. David Lloyd George , as a beginner in his office, owed much to his kindness. Many years of research, backed by an excellent private library, led to the publication in 1873 of Kalendars of Gwynedd , a complete record of the high officers ( sheriffs , Members of Parliament , etc.) of the counties of Anglesey , Caernarvon , and Merioneth , which is still an authoritative work of reference.
