Mod. cardboard. - Edited from the unpublished manuscript of Robert Glover by his nephew Thomas Milles. Glover was one of the finest genealogists and heralds of England: "His authority in genealogy and heraldry is much relied on by the Officers of Arms of the present day" (Moule, Bibl. Herald. Magn. Brit., 66). None of his work was published during his lifetime, but he left a great number of manuscripts which were very influential. Bruce Rogers considered this work as "one of the handsomest books of that (Elizabethan) period ... printed by 1608 by Jaggard, the printer of the first folio fifteen (sic 14) years later. The Nobilitas is generally accounted the masterpiece of his press, and itself comprises nearly all of the various typographical feature of books of that time" (Paragraphs on Printing). - Flyleaves renewed, title with handwr. contemp. Exlibris, last 6 leaves with backed corner defect (without loss of text), paper somewhat wavy, slightly browned and foxed, margins partially waterstained (illustr. predominantly not affected), 2 plates cropped close (1 in the right, the other in the lower margin). *
