18092920W. Miller 1809. Sm. 8vo. First Edition on laid paper wanting frontispiece two small ink stains on inner margin of title only neat signature on blank preliminary; very attractively bound in mid-nineteenth century half calf textured cloth boards back gilt with five raised bands morocco label speckled edges brown endpapers a remarkably crisp clean textual copy of a very scarce work. 'In almost every ordinary church yard we may see altar-monuments with the upper surface and some of the sides broken to pieces and the whole a heap of ruins even before they are fifty years old.' Godwin develops his thesis with passion with fascinating references to the array and state of monuments in St. Paul's and Westminster Abbey and an account of visits to Thetford Valle Crucis Abbey Ewelme Kenilworth Reading Abbey and the Seven Churches in Ireland. He concludes with a request for an atlas or catalogue of sepulchres along the lines of a traveller's guide to be 'of a very different measure of utility from the 'Catalogue of Gentlemen's Seats' which is now appended to the 'Book of Post-Roads through Every Part of Great Britain'. Godwin's eccentric treatise was the favourite book of his daughter Mary Shelley. Lamb writing to Coleridge termed it 'a very pretty absurd book about sepulchres'. NCBEL II 1250; Tinker 1083. W. Miller, hardcover

18187265Longman Hurst Rees Orme & Brown; Murray Nornaville and Fell and others 1819 ; 1818. 2 works in one vol. 8vo. with an engraved frontispiece and 13 engraved plates first work and 23 engraved plates second work some very light spotting mainly marginal on plates; handsomely bound in twentieth century half calf marbled boards back ruled tooled and lettered in gilt a highly attractive bright crisp copy ideal as a gift or for presentation. Since the binding is lettered only for the Rickman it is possible that a previous owner did not realise that TWO important works are present here the latter unnamed work being much the scarcer.Rickman provided the first systematic treatise on Gothic architecture in England. Its influence was profound for his terminology was employed by virtually all subsequent writers; much of it indeed is still current today. First published in 1817 in Liverpool where the present issue was compiled one of its most valuable features was its descriptive list of over 800 extant buildings illustrating the principles of English architecture and helpfully arranged by county. In this updated edition the number of buildings is greatly enlarged. Kendall's VERY SCARCE analysis is based on the ornaments arches columns etc. of Exeter Cathedral; the work is intended for practising architects who are taught the main elements which must be followed meticulously to achieve the pure pointed style. Kendall 1766-1829 was Surveyor of Exeter Cathedral and responsible for much restoration after about 1805. His important work was reissued once only by Bohn in 1842.
