BEG RESPECTFULLY TO ANNOUNCE THAT THEY WILL SHORTLY PUBLISH A NEW EDITION OF

Gregson's Portfolio of Fragments,

Relative to the History and Antiquities, Topography and Genealogies of the County Palatine and Duchy of Lancashire, Embellished with numerous Engravings of Views, Seats, Arms, Seals, and Antiquities. Third Edition, with additions and improvements, edited by JOHN HARLAND, F. S. A., Editor of the forthcoming New Edition of "Baines' History of Lanchashire," and of many works of Lanchashire Antiquities.

This Edition will be printed on the finest paper by Clark, Edinburgh, and will address itself, by the great local interest it possesses, to Lancashire people in all parts of the world. The work is replete with family pedigrees, portraits, arms, &c. Notwithstanding the great cost which, as a matter of course, must be incurred in the production of so elaborate a volume, the price will be as moderate as possible, so as to bring it within the means of a very large number of the inhabitants of the county palatine.

Lowndes, in his Bibliographer's Manual, says, "This book was originally published in 1817, in three parts, at £4 4s., and so far is complete. But in 1824 it was re-issued as a second edition, with a new title, a supplementary portion of plates, and starred pages, forming a fourth part, which was also published separately at £2 2s. An Index was announced, but never published.”

Thus it would appear that the original published price of the entire Work was six guineas, advanced after March 1825 to ten guineas and a half, and this the present publishers propose to offer in a vastly superior form to the former editions at £3 13s. 6d.

The great deficiency of the former editions is, as alluded to by Lowndes, the want of an Index. The new edition will contain not only a copious general Index, but also a special Index to the coats of arms.

One of the chief characteristic features of this Work is that it contains the largest collection in print of engraved coats of arms of Lancashire families, as well as many of Cheshire, Yorkshire, and other counties. For the want of a special Index to the coats of arms, these have hitherto remained almost a sealed book, unless by means of a long and fatiguing search through about 580 pages. This defect will be supplied in the present edition by a full Index to the

coats of arms.

The size of the book will be similar to the former editions, viz. foolscap folio; but a small imppression will be printed on Large Paper; in this latter it is intended to print the names of subscribers to it. As in the case of " Baine's Lancashire," and "Roby's Traditions of Lancashire," a limited number only will be printed; and those who wish to secure copies should make early application to the publishers.
