1904
Item Description
Large 8vo. xxviii + 477 pp. + [2] illustrated with 18 plates including an engraved frontispiece.
Notes
This is the later facsimile edition of Dunkin's history of Dartford, originally published in 1844, and it retains the flavour of the original but corrects the 'palpable mistakes' of the earlier printing. Thus it is free from the entertaining foibles of the original in respect of variety of plates and odd pagination and represents a very good alternative to the scarce first edition.
