Still a well rendered book

Beriah Botfield FRS FRSE FSA FRGS (5 March 1807 – 7 August 1863) was a British Member of Parliament representing Ludlow in Shropshire as a Conservative. He was also a noted bibliographer, geologist and botanist.

Beriah was a well known bibliographer who set up a private printing press at his home in Norton Hall. Among the works which he printed there was an anonymous Journal of a Tour through the Highlands of Scotland (1830). temmata Botevilliana (1843) was printed for a private collection, then much enlarged and presented to the general public in 1858, as an account of the family of Boteville or Botfield. The issue of Bibliotheca Hearniana—excerpts from the Catalogue of the Library of Thomas Hearne (1848) was afterwards reprinted in the Reliquiæ Hearnianæ (1869 ed.).
