The Genealogical History of The Croke Family, Originally Named Le Blount. (in two volumes)

The Genealogical History of The Croke Family, Originally Named Le Blount. (in two volumes) 1823. Oxford: W. Baxter for John Murray and Joseph Parker.

4to.(8.5" x 11") Half red leather with corners over red fabric boards. Spine with five raised bands and gilt lettering to second and fourth compartments, gilt "1823" to foot. Top edge gilt, others deckled. Bold marbled endpapers. Edgewear, corners bumped and rubbed with small loss to most tips. The head and foot of spines are lightly rubbed, tiny chip to the head of Vol.I (see pic). Red fabric at the fore-edges of all boards is lightened and loose, pulling away from the turn-in edge (see pic). Dampstains are evident on the foot of spines and boards on both volumes, affecting the first and last couple of pages just after and before the marbled endpapers of each volume, not affecting any text or plates. Small spots of foxing were noticed throughout both volumes; nothing egregious. A very heavy set of books with multiple plates and large folded family trees, all accounted for. Funky pagination, explained and accounted for on a half-sheet addendum pasted to the page directly before the half-title to Vol. I.

Sir Alexander Croke (July 22, 1758 – December 27, 1842) was a British judge, colonial administrator, and author influential in Nova Scotia of the early nineteenth century.
