Williams, Francis Goodwin : Original Typescript - "English Cathedrals"

Black cloth-covered boards with white title label on spine. No date, circa 1901 (two pencil annotations state that the date of the publication is 1901). 8 1/2" x 11." Pagination is divided by chapter, c. 185 pages, complete. Pages are virtually pristine and intact except for light age toning throughout and surface tearing on back pastedown from something formerly tipped in on it. Covers are clean and intact overall but have slightly bumped corners, slight offsetting, fading along spine, worn spine label, and moderate rubbing on front, back, and spine. Binding is tight. A Very Good copy. An original bound typescript by Reverend Francis Goodwin Williams about English cathedrals. There are ten chapters. After the untitled introduction, the chapters are titled as follows: "II: Chester - Our First Cathedral," "III: Shrewsbury - Hereford," "IV: Morning at Hereford; Afternoon at Worcester," "V: Service in Worcester Cathedral and a Day at Tewksbury Abbey Church," "VI: Gloucester Cathedral; Tintern Abbey," "VII: Flying Visits: Bristol, Bath, Glastonbury," "VIII: Wells," "IX: Exeter and Salisbury," and "X: Winchester." It is unclear if this typescript was ever published, but it is likely that this is an unpublished typescript as there is no record of it in WorldCat. The following text is handwritten in blue ink by the son of the author on a piece of white paper tipped in on front pastedown: "4/2/61; This book was written by my father, Rev. Francis Goodwin Williams after he had made a trip to England not long after taking up his ministry in the Protestant Episcopal Church, Willard Williams; Title: 'English Cathedrals.'". Manuscript. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Hardcover
