The antiquities of the priory of Christ-Church, Hants. consisting of plans, sections, elevations, details, and perspective views; accompanied by historical and descriptive accounts of the priory church; together with some particulars of the castle and borough. By Benjamin Ferrey, architect. The literary part by Edw. Wedlake Brayley, ...
London: printed for the proprietor, Benjamin Ferrey: and sold by J. Weale, Architectural Library; Calkin and Budd; J. Williams, Library of the Fine Arts; C. Tucker and Son, Christ-Church, Hants., 1834.
vi, [2], 100, xvi p., 18, [2] engr. pl. ; 35.1 cm. (4º)
Large paper copy. The irregular numbering of the plates may be owing to the fact that after issuing a prospectus promising 10 plates Ferrey doubled their number. In addition to Brayley's contribution, the book includes a disquisition (pp. 72--86) on Saxon and Norman remains by Ferrey's 'scientific friend Mr. Garbett of Winchester', the architect, William Garbett (ca. 1770--1834). BAL, Early printed books, no. 1060.
Copy Notes With a letter from the author dated 29 August 1834 pasted in on the front free-endpaper, apologizing for being unable to provide an uncut copy as Soane desired. Any future publications of his would, he promised, be bound specially to Soane's wishes. Soane's name is not on the list of subscribers. He bought his large paper copy from Ferrey for £3 in after being sent an ordinary copy on approval on 4 August 1834, paid by cheque on Praed's, 13 May 1835. (Priv. Corr. I.F.3 and XVI.E.7.42).
