A volume made up for William Dickson, antiquary, Alnmouth, of what appears to be a reprint on paper water-marked 1809 of pages 31-162 (accompanied by original engravings, and preceded by an additional title page) of vol. IV of Grose's Antiquities of England and Wales. Periodical pasted on front pastedown "William Dickson, Esq Alnwick, Northumberland". The book contains his signature dated 1852 on the first flyleaf, a small number of amendments in his hand at different parts of the text, a bifolium (itself amended) from an unidentified periodical dated 1872 tipped in between pages 54 and 55, and an index to the plates written on extra sheets bound in at the back of the volume. Between pages 58 and 59 is tipped a sheet containing drawings by John Sparrow, 1786, of Bamburgh Castle.
