Some years ago, in the library of a noble earl in the north of England, I met with a "fair and _perfect_" copy of this rare book. The following is a list of the plates which it contained:--
1. View of the Manor of Weston, Somersetshire, p. 360. 2. Monument of Richard Perceval, p. 406.
3. Manor of Sydenham, co. Somerset, p. 24. 4. Portrait of Richard Perceval, p. 120. 5. Another of the same, _ib._ 6. Portrait of Alice Perceval, p. 138. 7. Portrait of Sir Philip Perceval, p. 144. 8. View of Loghart Castle, Ireland, p. 192. 9. Castle Liscarrol, Cork, p. 215. 10. Portrait of Catherine, wife of Sir Philip, p. 320. 11. Portrait of George Perceval, p. 322. 12. Portrait of Sir John Perceval, p. 325. 13. View of Castle Kanturk, Cork, p. 335. 14. Portrait of Catherine, wife of Sir John Perceval, p. 361. 15. Portrait of Robert Perceval, p. 368. 16. Portrait of Sir Philip Perceval, second Baronet, p. 376. 17. Monument of ditto, p. 386. 18. Portrait of Sir John Perceval, eighth Baronet, p. 389. 19. Portrait of Catherine, wife to ditto, p. 396. 20. Portrait of the Hon. Philip Perceval, p. 400. 21. Portrait of John Perceval, Earl of Egmont, p. 403. 22. Map of part of the estate of John Perceval, Earl of Egmont, p. 404. 23. Portrait of Sir P. Parker, ancestor of the Countess of Egmont, p. 451. 24. Portrait of Catherine, wife of ditto, p. 452. 25. Portrait of the Countess of Egmont, born 1680, p. 453. 26. View of Mount Pleasant, near Tunbridge Wells, p. 461. 27. Portrait of John Viscount Perceval, p. 467. 28. Portrait of Catherine, wife of ditto, p. 467. 29. View of Beverstan Castle, p. 496.
The copy here described contains the "folding plate" mentioned by your correspondent; and as it was a presentation copy from the Earl of Egmont to Earl Ferrers, the presumption is that it is an _unmutilated_ one.
In answer to the Query of your correspondent H.T.E., I beg to state that the folding map of part of the estate of John Perceval, Earl of Egmont, does occur in my copy of _The House of Yvery_, at page 92. of the _first_ volume. Lowndes, in his list of the plates, assigns this map to the second volume; but its proper place is as above. Perhaps this mistake of Lowndes may have given rise to the doubt as to the existence of this map; but I suppose any copy of the work without it must be considered imperfect.
