[The first edition of the first Prayer Book of King Edward VI. There were at least seven editions of the Common Prayer issued in 1549, and it was for many years disputed as to which was really the first issue. Mr. Lathbury proved in his History that the above edition actually appeared in March, 1549. This copy had the rare official price list, printed on reverse of the "Certayne Notes." It belonged to Nathaniel Lord Crewe, Bishop of Durham (1633-1722), the founder of the Charity at Bamborough Castle, who had a note on fly-leaf. A MS. note by a former owner states: "This Book belonged to Lord Crewe, Bp. of Durham, time of Chas. 2nd, and descended to Lord Alvanley [C. J.]. At his death his Library was sold and I bought this Vol. The opposite leaf was the fly-leaf of the old binding & is in the handwriting of the Bp."-Catalogue.]
