About This Item
(no place: Footprint Press, 2014) 9780620614016. 232 x 164 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. 113; liberally illustrated with contemporary portraits and artwork. New. The Saint of the title is Frederick York St Leger, the surgeon is Dr William Guybon Atherstone, and the unsung botanist is Mary Elizabeth Barber. "I owe a great deal to Ivan Mitford-Barberton. His painstaking research in compiling the Barbers of the Peak, a task that took him fourteen years, was a challenge to me to continue the work. ... So my purpose in writing this book is to give some perspective to the times in which my various ancestors lived, and to gain some recognition for their achievements and their contribution to the society of the day." .
