A propos de cet article

12mo., (6 4/8 x 4 2/8 inches). Title-page and text leaves printed in blue and black. Engraved frontispiece, folding engraved map of the Isle of Mann with original hand-colour in outline (early repairs to verso, lightly soiled and a bit creased), 16 engraved plates of local landmarks, and numerous engravings in the text (some light spotting). Original blue cloth, gilt (head and foot of the spine worn with minor loss). Fourth edition, first published in 1847. The Isle of Mann’s "existence and locality must have been well known to the inhabitants of the surrounding coasts, long before it was invaded; and the original families who landed on its shores were allowed to enjoy their seclusion and their name without molestation. That name, cherished by uninterrupted tradition to the present day, was "Ellan Vannin;" the letter M being changed into V, according to the idiom of the Manks language, which thus forms the possessive case. The same authority informs us that the original founder and legislator of the Island was Mannan Mac Ler, and that this name was given to the Island, being contracted into Mannin, and in later years into Mann" (page 3). Catalogued by Kate Hunter.…
