Notes
The Restoration House is an Elizabethan Mansion situated in Crow Lane, Rochester and one of the finest such houses in the country. Harris' account is fictionalised but based on local history during the time of Cromwell. Copious notes at the end give further detail on each chapter. The list of subscribers at the rear gives 216 names so perhaps 500 would have been published. This copy is inscribed on a blank prelim 'Presented to my old friend M. Ashdown. With the Compliments of The Author Edwin Harris 151 Eastgate Rochester June 4th 1927.' Scarce.
