http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/729651036

According to the Sotheby's auction catalogue these volumes provide a "detailed history of the city of Newcastle-upon-Tyne...apparently unpublished. It begins with a historical and topographical survey of the city and outlying areas, followed by an account of the customs and privileges of the city and the system of local government. The bulk of the work is taken up with a chronological history with annual entries...running from 1251 to 1775;...much of the narrative is dominated by national events and it provides a chronicle history of England from a distinctly radical Whig perspective, using Stow, Rapin, and other sources." Also includes several printed pages from Henry Bourne's History of Newcastle (1736).

3 volumes, ca. 650 pages in all, 45 cm.
