Dustwrapper illustration by John Piper. Bright set of the first two-volume version of this classic compendium, incorrectly syled 'Third Edition' by the publisher following the revised impression of the first edition (1958/9). In this edition no distinction is made between the authorship of the county introductions and the lists of churches; the book reverted to its older pattern in the third edition of 1980.
