About This Item
London: Printed by A. Godbid & J. Playford, and sold by S. Neale, 1680. (6), 1-32, 49-176, 193-219 pages; missing the frontispiece. The text is complete and in proper sequence without duplication. But the page numbering problems in all known copies are present: page numbers 33-48 and 178-192 are not used; numbering of pages 82-95 is not sequential; and page numbers 97-103, 204-205, 106-107, 208, 109, and 112 are duplicated. Attributed to L'Estrange by Donald Wing, the book chronicles the "Popish Plot", alleged treasonous acts of Jesuits against the rule of Charles II. This is a scarce title: ESTC locates only 26 copies in world libraries, and this is the only copy we can locate on the market at this time. Recently rebound in full brown morocco with tooling appropriate to the 17th century. Internally clean with lightly tanned, but still supple, pages that are age-worn at the corners. There is a 1/2" closed tear in the bottom margin of the title page.. First Edition. Hardcover. Collectible-Very Good/No Dust Jacket as Issued. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Book.
