OLIVER D. D., Rev. George.
Lives of the Bishops of Exeter, and A History of the Cathedral; Etc. Index Compiled by J. S. Attwood
Notwithstanding the title, this publication is only the index to Oliver’s 1861 book. Mathews’s first publication after he relocated to London. Per Nelson, The Early Nineties, p. 3: “Soon after his arrival in London in September 1887, Mathews published the Index to Dr. Oliver’s Lives of the Bishops of Exeter, the imminent appearance of which had been advertised at the back of We Donkeys. J. S. Attwood, the compiler of the index, was a friend of Mathews and introduced him to a number of local antiquaries in Exeter.“
A very good copy of a key Mathews title, very rare in commerce.
