ESTC T146557. With a half-title and an index. John Le Neve, (b. 1679, d. in or before 1741), antiquary. . Le Neve's other major publication was [the above] supposedly 'a specimen of a much larger work', which drew on Peter Le Neve's manuscripts and information from the masons who carved the actual monuments recorded. Supplements to this work covering the periods 1650 79 and 1680 99 were published in 1718, and in 1719 a fourth volume appeared for the period 1600 49. Le Neve intended to take the work back to 1400 but, although he carried out research for this, no volume covering this part of the project was printed, and Le Neve instead had to satisfy himself with a fifth volume containing those monuments dating between 1650 and 1718 'collected since the publication of the former volumes' .
