Title continues: "Which Have Occurred in Northumberland and Durham, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, and Berwick-Upon-Tweed, From the Earliest Period of Authentic Record to the Present Time; With Biographical Notices of Deceased Persons of Talent, Eccentricity, and Longevity." The register consists of a chronological list of interesting events in and about Newcastle from the Dark Ages to the Reform Bill of 1832. The set appears to have been owned by Sir Henry Bellingham (1846-1921), conservative politician from Castlebellingham in County Louth, Ireland.
