Description: London, John Murray, 1852. Hardcover. Red cloth boards with gilt lettering; 28 pp; 41 leaves of mostly color plates. Includes a preface. Errata slip bound in behind Preface page. "This work being merely intended as a Catalogue raisonne of the contents of a Saxon Cemetery, excavated by me during the Autumn of 1851, I have contented myself with detailing the results of my labours and abstained from making any observation on the nature, and application of the relics exhumed, feeling confident that a faithful delineation will be far more satisfactory than the most diffuse, and lengthended treatise."-Preface. Good (heavy wear to boards with corners heavily bumped, red cloth spine missing along top half; foxed throughout but plates are still beautiful. Several pages are loose mainly in the front.) .
