Kent. Lewis (John)

Kent. Lewis (John). Kent. Lewis (John). The History and Antiquities Ecclesiastical and Civil of the Isle of Tenet in Kent. London: [by John March], 1723, first edition, quarto, one of 150 copies, title in red and black with engraved vignette, 3 plates (one folding), numerous illustrations (some full-page), woodcut head- and tailpieces and initials, heavy age-toning/browning, contemporary annotations, later half calf, gilt, rubbed, upper joint cracked but holding firm, corners bumped, [ESTC T107134]. An advertisement on the verso of the title-page asks the subscribers for an additional sixpence because of the extra paper and plates that were used to produce the work. As noted in the ESTC record, the catchword on T2v is "The"; the first word on the following page ²B1r is "A", which suggests it is wanting a leaf or more. There is also the suggestion of a portrait, which is not present in this copy.
