A manuscript by Ed Burghah (Burghall), the puritanical vicar of Acton, begun in 1628 and ended 1663. NB he was the author of John Bruen of Stapleford's Life and married his sister. SIGNED LIMITED EDITION OF 200 COPIES, THIS BEING NUMBER 174. Unpaginated, engraved illustrations in the text by Nicholas Parry, pages clean and crisp, limitation page signed by illustrator, red and grey marbled endpapers, marbled golden brown paper boards with paper label to upper board and spine. THE TERN PRESS 1973-2012 We have been fortunate to obtain a collection of 25 titles from The Tern Press created by Nicholas and Mary Parry in 1973. Looking through the books you come to appreciate the love and care that Nicholas and Mary had for the craft of creating books as works of individual art. These slim volumes with their variety of illustrations, print types and use of different materials for binding make for truly individual works of art. Never more than 200 copies, often under a 100, these beautiful books make an ideal present and with their very small print run deserve to join the Private Press classic publishers of previous years as fine examples of the craftsmanship of their time.
