[ Charterhouse; book ] Carthusian Worthies.

xxiv + 366pp., 8vo. In rough red cloth with lettering in blue. A good copy, lightly aged and worn, in a chipped and worn dustwrapper with closed tears mended with archival tape. Tastefully printed in the firm's robust style. The blurb on the front of the dustwrapper states: 'The aim of the author, himself an Old Carthusian, is to introduce or recall some of the famous men who have successively peopled the Charterhouse, whether as monastery, mansion or school. Amongst the five hundred Carthusians whose lives he reviews are some, long-forgotten even by name, whom he has been able to rescue from an undeserved oblivion.' Arranged in the form of a calendar. Now scarce.
