Description: "Mayhew's text presents no difficulties. I have used the 1865 four-volume impression published by Charles Griffin & Co., Stationers' Hall Court, from which illustrations used here are also taken. The extracts are grouped according to volume, and the page reference to the 1865 edition is given for each. A few new headings have been introduced and a few of Mayhew's headings re-postioned in order to lend coherence to the selections presented here." (from page xxix in the note about the text)
Notes: Bibliography: p. xxiv-xxvii.
