1687673L6London: Not Stated 1687. First edition. Paperback. Very Good Indeed. 8" by 6". None. The first edition of this very scarce satire on John Dryden written contemporaneously to his success. Scarce - last seen at auction in 1981. Pages 12 20 are misnumbered as called for. ESTC no: R36782 WING: R1206 Collated complete with the final blank. With the signatures A4 B2 C-E4. This work is a satire on John Dryden with extracts from his poems. The title references his allegorical poem 'The Hind and the Panther' which is regarded as one of his most controversial. Dryden had converted to Catholicism around the same time as the Catholic monarch James II's accession to the throne in 1685. Many Protestant writers were disgusted by this particularly as previous poems by Dryden included praise towards Puritan Protectorate Oliver Cromwell. Dryden's 'The Hind and the Panther' came from Dryden's conversion and he describes the different religious denominations as animals making clear his new stance as a Catholic. This 'Trage-Comedy' is a response to Dryden's 'The Hind and the Panther' and his revolt against his previous beliefs. The introduction provides a synopsis of Dryden's poem and states that for writing it Dryden deserves to be 'reckon'd in the number of the Heathen Gods'. A very scarce work which provides context to the political and social climate of the seventeenth century. Disbound as called for. Externally smart with just a few light spots to the front and rear wraps. Internally firmly bound. To A2 there is a small ring mark at the bottom of the page not affecting the text. Internally firmly bound. Pages are bright. Just the odd spots. Very Good Indeed Not Stated paperback

A beautifully-bound scarce anti-Catholic pamphlet. References: Wing 1996 V725; ESTC No. R7957. ~PPP~ A first edition copy of the 1681 broadside issued anonymously by the radical Whigs during the Restoration period in England containing a series of Whig-oriented petitions to the members of the Oxford Parliament. The principal theme of these petitions was stated as 'No Popish Successor no French Slavery.' Though purporting to speak for 'the people' the anonymous author makes clear that this does not refer to the 'hoi polloi' but rather to citizens of some means. In the preface the author notes that 'some people have lately spoken contemptuously of the populace calling them the rabble . . . the dregs of mankind.' These terms are applied to 'persons without estates' who are assumed to be without 'reason and judgment' but he argues he is writing on behalf of 'men of large estates well-bred gentlemen merchants . . . and rich and substantial yeomen and freeholders.' The Restoration of the English monarchy began when the English Scottish and Irish monarchies were all restored under Charles II after the Interregnum that followed the Wars of the Three Kingdoms.

Old manuscript label to the side: "Last Judgement / White collection". The block remains in very good condition indeed with only a touch of minor old loss to the foot of the lower border. Accompanied by an impression taken from the block printed on high-quality modern paper. A splendid late seventeenth- / early eighteenth-century woodcut printing block depicting The Last Judgement with a resplendent Heavenly City at the head.</p><p>The present block originates from the workshop of the pioneering Newcastle printer John White 1689-1769 who inherited a large collection of blocks most likely including the present one from his father also John White the York-based printer. White's collection of blocks subsequently descended through a series of Newcastle printers: Thomas Saint Thomas Angus George Angus Emerson Charnley and William Dodd. The present wood-cut is reproduced in Charnley's 'Specimens of Early Wood Engraving: being impressions of woodcuts from the collection of Mr. Charnley' Newcastle: 1858 and Dodd's subsequent 1862 edition.

16881440London: : Ric. Chiswell at the Rose and Crown 1688. First Edition. First edition. Pamphet. Disbound. Title preface a dedication to the Queen Regent written by "the Maids of St Joseph" the text of the prerogatives. This is in fact an anti-catholic pamphlet from William Clagett. William Clagett 1646–1688 was an English clergyman and pamphleteer particularly active during the reign of James II. As well as his own pamphlets he would translate particularly colourful Continental Catholic material with the aim of making the Catholics an object of ridicule. This is one of those pieces. A nice copy of this pamphlet. Apart from a a few slight marks the pamphlet is clean and crisp throughout and well bound together.ii i-xv i vi 1-20. pp. WING A108. Ric.

16901747London: : Randal Taylor 1690. Although the Popish Plot was ten years gone by the time this polemic was published anti-Catholic feeling still ran high. This pamphlet purports to show all of the ways that Papists had attempted to undermine the Church of England since the Reformation. As such this is almost a literature review of the previous hundred years summarising Bishop Burnett Stillingfleet and others whilst quoting from Parliament and Catholic peers. It is followed by A LETTER OF THE MINISTERS Of the CITY of LONDON Presented the First of January 1645. to the Reverend Assembly of Divines sitting at Westminster by Authority of Parliament against TOLERATION. This pamphlet has been abstracted from a collection and so appears as a disbound item - with the binding marks and stab marks to the spine. No wrapper or cover now held in a protective sleeve. The top edge of the first couple of pages is beginning to come away - although the binding is still holding securely. A touch of darkening to the front and rear pages less so inside. There are pencil ticks throughout the work in the margins. Wing B 4382. 4 67 1 pp. Randal Taylor, unknown
16331977London: John Norton for Joyce Norton 1633. A nice copy of this two volume work unfortunately lacking the title page to Volume I. The volume starts on gather A. Original full leather boards with a touch of bumping / edgewear to the boards. Recent spine with titles and date to the spine. There is a little water staining to the work particularly to the edges and a slight nicking to the edges of the blank front end paper. Some darkening / foxing again particularly to the edges. Owner's inscriptions to the inside front board and to the 2nd end paper. IWe think what is laid in as the first end paper is a later addition when the spine was replaced - the second end paper appears from condition and inscriptions to be the original one. Also lacking is leaf 3I2 page 99/100 with the text here also lacking. Bizarrely a full page plate dating from 1814 has been laid in to face page 275. This is an engraving by Wm Craig and L. Brown showing national liberty crushing the nations of Europe. This is perhaps laid in here as it is opposite an homily against Disobedience and Wilfull rebellion. This long homily published in various forms is important as it was part of the celebrations following the failure of the rebellions against Queen Elizabeth I. To the end of the work is "A thankesgiving for the suppression of the last rebellion." 1-98 vi 1-98 101-320 iv. 290 x 210 mm 11½ x 8¼ inches. John Norton for Joyce Norton hardcover
