Foliation can be supplied upon request. Text is printed within a ruled frame with headpieces tailpieces and floriated initials. Contemporary full polished calf with hand-tooled decorative borders in blind to both boards six raised bands red morocco label with gilt lettering on backstrip edges speckled red. A good copy internally bright and crisp with light scattered foxing lacks the portrait of John Weever but has the extra engraved title-page and original index the original title-page appears to have been carefully cut along the margins and mounted on what was formerly the ffep the engraved title-page is similarly mounted on a blank leaf from the book that has been detached and slipped in covers are rubbed and scuffed joints are shaken and split though still attached .Notwithstanding these defects the contents are clean intact and very good. In addition to being a discourse on its subject this work is a compilation with commentary on epitaphs arms and inscriptions on tombs monuments church windows et al. The work focuses on the dioceses of Canterbury London Norwich and Rochester. Lowndes and DNB both citing Wharton's Anglia Sacra note that John Weever 1576-1632-poet anthologist and antiquary-made extensive errors in the interpretation of numbers and in transcription. However both note the work's great utility to historians and biographers. Writing in 1899 Sidney Lee who wrote the Weever entry in DNB points out that " .almost all sepulchral inscriptions in Weever are now obliterated" and that "despite its defects Weever's book is invaluable." This copy conforms to the collation and pagination in ESTC S118104 and the Melvyl/UCR record. Recorded copies are often defective lacking either preliminary blanks engraved title-page the frontis portrait or the index. STC 2nd 25223. Lowndes p. 2867-68. NCBEL 1:1158; NUC 653 p. 270.

Quatre volumes petit in-4 (18,5 x 25 cm), reliés en plein veau brun de l'époque. Les reliures sont toutes identiques, dos à 5 nerfs, titrés, roulettes dorées sur les coupes. Nicolas Sanson d'Abbeville est considéré comme le fondateur de la cartographie en France. En 1627, rencontrant Richelieu (il venait d'Abbeville et s'était installé à Paris), il fut présenté par lui à Louis XIII, qui le nomma Géographe Ordinaire du Roi. Il cartographia quatre continents (ici présents : l'Europe, l'Asie, l'Afrique et l'Amérique), et fut même le premier à cartographier certaines parties du globe (ainsi, par exemple, la région des grands lacs canadiens, avec sa carte ""Le Canada ou Nouvelle France"" (carte datant de 1656)). Il fut le premier Français à concevoir le plan d'un atlas mondial. Les cartes et le texte de chaque volume sont entièrement montés sur onglets. Chaque carte reçoit un commentaire explicatif, avec informations sur l'économie, les habitants et les moeurs du pays décrit, tiré des auteurs anciens (Pline, Strabbon...), de récits de voyageurs ou de rapports des missions des jésuites. De plus, chacune des cartes présente les tracés de contours des pays ou régions aquarellés. Les volumes s'organisent comme suit : L'Europe (sans date) : Titre et dédicace gravés sur double page, 12 cartes doubles et 30 feuillets imprimés au recto. L'Asie (1662) : 108 pages (avec erreurs connues de chiffrage et inversion de feuillets) et 17 cartes doubles. L'Afrique (1662) : 96 pages et 17 planches doubles, proposant 18 cartes (car l'une des planches porte deux cartes) (ce volume est le seul à présenter une petite mouillure sur les quelques premières pages). L'Amérique (1662) : non paginé (80 pages) et 15 cartes doubles. Nos exemplaires sont en TRÈS BEL ÉTAT. Les pages sont très fraiches, sans aucune réelle trace, tache, piqûre ni mouillure. Les cartes, particulièrement, sont dans un vraiment très bel état de fraîcheur, avec des couleurs extrêmement éclatantes. Les reliures présentent des traces peu visibles de réparations anciennes. Les volumes ont étés reliés avec contre-gardes, mais sans pages de garde. Ce rare ensemble est véritablement en TRÈS BEL ÉTAT. Livraison a domicile (La Poste) ou en Mondial Relay sur simple demande."
