THE SCOPE AND CHARM OF ANTIQUARIAN STUDY.
Reading edition
By John Batty, F.R.Hist.S.
“It forms a useful and entertaining guide to a beginner in historical researches.”—Notes and Queries.
“The author has laid it before the public in a most inviting, intelligent, and intelligible form, and offers every incentive to the study in every department, including Ancient Records, Manorial Court-Rolls, Heraldry, Painted Glass, Mural Paintings, Pottery, Church Bells, Numismatics, Folk-Lore, &c., to each of which the attention of the student is directed. The pamphlet is printed on a beautiful modern antique paper, appropriate to the subject of the work.”—Brighton Examiner.
“Mr. Batty, who is one of those folks Mr. Dobson styles ‘gleaners after time,’ has clearly and concisely summed up, in the space of a few pages, all the various objects which may legitimately be considered to come within the scope of antiquarian study.”—Academy.
In preparation, 2 vols., 8vo.
