One of my family’s favourite days out is Dover Castle, my folio copy of Darell written in the late 1500s for queen Elizabeth is getting a little unsuitable to carry around as a guide book, it has Francis Grose’s Provincial Glossary 1811 bound in with it, making it doubly bulky.When it was first published in 1797 it was priced at 3 guineas about £150 in Mars Bars from then to know, but also a lot of people in the land would have lived for a year on less, the money not the Mars Bars.
Anyway I am in the process of doing a cheap reprint for general amusement and edification.
It is also a useful book for those learning Latin as it has both the original Latin text and the English translation on the same page.
