HOARE, Richard Colt. Monastic Remains of the Religious houses at Witham, Bruton, and Stavordale. Frome: Crockers, 1824. Limited edition, one of only 50 copies, and one of only  11(?) with an original drawing by Hoare bound-in, 4to (278 x 224mm.) Title in red and black, 15 engraved plates mounted on India paper, 2 genealogies, 1 original ink and pencil drawing of Horsley Priory seal bound-in. (Toning, initial blank and front-free endpaper loosened, spotting to plate margins.) Contemporary calf, gilt borders, g.e. (upper cover detached, extremities rubbed). Note: a pencil inscription on the front pastedown suggests that eleven copies of the 50 had an original drawing of Horsely Priory seal bound-in by Hoare, but only ever this copy with the drawing has surfaced at auction. It was owned by Hoare’s son, Harry, so it’s very likely this was the author’s own copy and that the drawing can be attributed to him. Provenance: Harry Hoare, cricketer, son of author (bookplate to the front-free endpaper); Hugh F. Hornby (bookplate to the front pastedown).
