>
> I have spare copies of the first *three* of a set of four fairly rare
> books of Derbs/Yorks/Chesh/Lancs pedigrees, called "Familiae Minorum
> Gentium", published by the Harleian Society in the 1890s.
>
> Here is a catalogue description of this set:-
>
> "HARLEIAN SOCIETY: Vols. 37,38,39, 40:-
> FAMILIAE MINORUM GENTIUM, 1894-1896.
> A vast collection of pedigrees (1454 pages in all) from the collection
> of Joseph HUNTER, the historian of Hallamshire and South Yorkshire.
> Most are for Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Cheshire and Lancashire families,
> with their branches in other counties. A worn set, some cracking and
> splitting to cloth, free endpapers stuck down, some old dampstaining
> marks to edges of first and last pages only, bindings slack."
>
> The three volumes contain a total of 1,172 pages. As the description
> says, the covers are not in perfect condition, but they look
> reasonable, just a little scruffy around the edges, and the spines are
> faded. Inside, they are in good order, in fact many pages have never
> even been cut. Each volume has an alphabetical list of the pedigrees
> included - Volume 1 has about 284 pedigrees.
>
> I thought that somebody on the Derbs List might like to buy these
> books at UKP 25 each (they usually cost double that), plus postage.
> Anyone interested, please contact me.

> Best wishes
