Item description from seller

London: Allen and West, FIRST EDITION, 1795. Quarter leather binding, with gilt titles to red and black labels, six gilt lined bands (not raised), and marbled boards. Volume II slightly taller than Vol I. Gilt title on red morocco label. Gilt lines to spines. Vol. I : xlvi, 7-536pp. With 11 engraved fold-out maps. Vol II : 3-548pp. With 6 engraved fold-out maps. Frontispiece map of Vol.1 has repaired tear where it joins the text block otherwise the maps are in very good condition. JOHN MALHAM, (1747–1821), miscellaneous writer, born in Craven, Yorkshire, in 1747, was educated at the grammar school there. In 1768 he conducted a school, and corresponded on mathematical subjects in the ‘Leeds Mercury;’ but soon after entering into holy orders, he served a curacy in Northamptonshire. In 1781 he resumed the office of schoolmaster; and in September 1790 was residing at the Square, Plymouth Dock, in the capacity of ‘teacher of navigation and the classics.’ In 1792 he vainly petitioned John Pitt, second earl of Chatham, then first lord of the admiralty, for a naval chaplaincy. About 1798 he settled at Salisbury, where, in addition to his duties as ordinary of the county gaol, he became a corrector of the press. In the summer the Bishop of Salisbury (Douglas), in a charge to his clergy, gave great offence to the dissenters by his strictures on itinerant preaching. In the controversy that followed Malham was foremost in defending the bishop, and his assiduity was rewarded with the vicarage of Hilton, Dorset, on 30 April 1801. After writing a pamphlet to prove that it was quite unnecessary for country clergymen to reside on their livings, he betook himself to London, where he was employed by booksellers engaged in the issue of illustrated bibles, prayer-books, and popular historical works in weekly numbers. He died near London on 19 Sept. 1821. Approximately 8 ¾ inches tall.
