xvi, pp 1-191 [plates] The second volume of the Transactions of the Institute of British Architects formerly owned by the Yorkshire Archaeological Society. The book is bound in the original brown decorated cloth with the Institute's crest in gilt on the front board. The backstrip is partly detached but the binding remains sound. The inner hinges are cracked and the half title is detached. The text is clean and complete, beginning with the list of the council and members of the society before proceeding to sections devoted to Antiquities and Construction with an article by Herr Beuth on the Berlin Museum and Charles Fowler on the Long Room of the London Custom House. A highlight of the volume is a printed letter from Michael Faraday. The bookplate of the Yorkshire Archaeological Society appears on the front pastedown together with a 'withdrawn' stamp but there are no further signs of library ownership. This book may require additional postage for shipping outside the United Kingdom. Good Please contact Christian White Rare Books Ltd for more information or images of this item.
