Although Washington wrote that the history of his ancestors was, in his opinion, "of very little moment," and "a subject to which I confess I have paid very little attention," few Americans can prove a better pedigree. The earliest of his forebears yet discovered was described as "gentleman," the family were granted lands by Henry the Eighth, held various offices of honor, married into good families, and under the Stuarts two were knighted and a third served as page to Prince Charles. Lawrence, a brother of the three thus distinguished, matriculated at Oxford as a "generosi filius" (the intermediate class between sons of the nobility, "armigeri filius," and of the people, "plebeii filius"), or as of the minor gentry. In time he became a fellow and lector of Brasenose College, and presently obtained the good living of Purleigh.

Very Good.

The front hinge is reasonably sound, but there is a slight separation of the endsheets. Apart from age-darkening paper and some offsetting where tissue guard comes in contact with title page, the book is a clean copy, with only minor wear to olive green cloth. 319 pages, illustrated. Top edge gilt. No dj.
