AJR I have been given a book entitled "Old England : A Pictorial Museum of Regal, Ecclesiastical, Municipal, Baronial and Popular Antiquities". (see what I mean about the title).
This book, printed by James Sangster & Co. has no date in it, and appears to have consisted of two volumes originally. Has anyone heard of this book, and can anyone help in dating it (even approximately would help).
Many thanks
Andrew

Philip Davis A quick search of the British Library Public Catalogue
Throws up these three records

[1] Old England ... Edited by C. Knight.
KNIGHT. Charles. Publisher
2 vol. J. Sangster & Co.: London, (1860?) fol.
[2] Old England ... Edited by C. Knight.
(Another issue.). Old England, etc.
KNIGHT. Charles. Publisher
London, (1860?) fol.
[3] Old England: a pictorial museum of regal, ecclesiastical, baronial, municipal and popular antiquities. (Edited by Charles Knight.)
KNIGHT. Charles. Publisher
London: Charles Knight & Co., 1845 (1846). 2 vol.: plates. fol.

So 1845 looks to be the answer.

AJR Thanks Philip. Your help is always appreciated.

A Knight I bought a facsimile copy in the late 1980's - published as Old England - A Pictorial Museum - by Bracken Books in 1987 (ISBN 1 85170 098 6).
Inside the dust cover it says it was published in 1844, whilst in the actual book it says first published by James Sangster & Co. in 1847.
