Description - The Reverend Colvile states in the preface that it may be needful to explain his definition of "Worthies" - i.e. not so much with regard to the moral worth of the individuals (although this of course has not been lost sight of in the selection), as to the nature and quality of their public acts and writings in the times in which they lived. Undated but circa 1870. 899 pages. Red blind stamped cloth with gilt titling and bevelled edges. Spine ends lightly rubbed. Front end paper and half title foxed. Gift label to front pastedown. Institute of St. Charles, Begbroke, Oxford. Given by Canon Caswell, May 1910. Heavy book. postage by quotation.
