About This Item
Whitby: R. Kirby, [s.d., c.1839] 15pp., [1]. With frontispiece showing engraved portrait of Thomas Keard. Original wrappers, stitched as issued within. A trifle spotted at margins, slight browning. A brief Whitby-printed commemoration of local personality, the 'literatus' Thomas Kearne (1756-1828). It provides an anecdotal account of his life, from his studies at Eton to his career as a teacher of classics at Mr Routh's academy in Whitby. Versed in Latin, Greek and Music, he was fondly remembered by his pupils and friends alike. OCLC locates a single copy worldwide, at York Minster. . 8vo.
