Book Description Hardback. Condition: Mint. Dust Jacket Condition: Mint. First Edition. WILLIAM LAMBARDE Elizabethan Antiquary. Retha M. Warnicke. Phillimore Publishing, Chichester. 1973 First edition ISBN 0850330777 188pp Hardback. This copy is in MINT condition in a MINT price clipped dustwrapper. This is the first full biography of Lambarde and in it the author examines much new evidence about his life and work. William Lambarde (October 18, 1536 - August 19, 1601) was an antiquarian and writer on legal subjects. In 1570, he completed his Perambulation of Kent, the first English county history. It circulated in manuscript before being printed in 1576. It proved to be very popular and went through several editions. Lambarde considered writing a similar work for all of Britain, but he set the idea aside when he learned that William Camden was already working on the same project. He inherited the books and manuscripts of Laurence Nowell, on Nowell's death, which may have included Beowulf. Lambarde probably served as a Member of Parliament for Aldborough in the Parliament of 1563-1567. He was also a bencher of Lincoln's Inn, and a Justice of the Peace for Kent. Lambarde founded an almshouse in East Greenwich in 1576. Elizabeth made him Keeper of the Records in the Tower in 1601. He died that same year. Ref S7. Seller Inventory # 007258
