The text is in Hodgson's hand and consists of a series of statements about Churches destroyed or damaged by the Great Fire of London of 1666. For example "Near this Marble in is ye Place which befoe the fire of London was the porch of ye Church of St. Anne Black Friars lye interr'd &c". Each entry is marked off by two short marginal lines and numbers 1-6 appear in pencil in the margin not in the order of writing. At the top of the page is a reference "See Gent Mag Vol pt p".

Charts a compelling route to the nation's past." - from dust jacket. Book clean and unmarked with light wear to navy cloth boards. Price clipped dust jacket bears two closed tears and average wear.

FIRST EDITION AND AN EARLY WORK ON THE BOUNTY MUTINEERS AND THE COMMUNITIES THEY FOUNDED.

16mo., Second Edition, with engraved frontispiece, 10 engraved plates and engraved chart, plates lightly spotted, neat contemporary inscription on half-title, embossed personal stamp on front free endpaper and half-title; original pictorial red cloth blocked in gilt and blind, gilt back, neatly rebacked with old backstrip gilt laid down, a very good, tight, clean copy. First published earlier the same year, this is arguably the best mid-nineteenth century account of the aftermath of the mutiny. Its publication was stimulated by a resurrection of public interest in the 'Bounty' saga following the visit to England in 1850 of the Pitcairn Pastor George Nobbs. The work includes considerable detail on the fate of the mutineers, their descendants and the present population; this edition benefits from 'additional intelligence respecting Pitcairn and the Islanders'.
