Rebound in contemporary leather extensive contemporary notes to front endpapers one endpaper with the upper right corner torn. Quite clean internally - in two parts a third was published in 1689. 14 70 8 154pp<br/><br/>The first and second parts of Ware's extensive and pernicious forgeries of church history intended to stir up anti-Catholic anti-Irish and anti-Jesuit sentiment. They played a large role in the absurd stories surrounding the Popish Plot and many of Ware's creations continued to pollute reformation history into the 19th 20th and even 21st centuries. Ware was the son of a prominent historian and used his father John's name to legitimize the documents that he "found" - one of the most long lived forgeries was a Cranmer letter at the beginning of part two which entered into Cranmer's works and was preserved for centuries through misattributions by historians such as John Strype and wishful thinking.

183021128New York: Ludwig & Tolefree 1830. First Edition. Hardcover. Good. 8.5 x 5.25 inches 151 pp with engraved frontispiece and four additional illustrations. In original boards with what appears to be later but not recent cloth over the original cloth spine. Boards worn front board only just attached some losses to spine cloth; good. Early ownership signature Joshua Hodsdon Yarmouth on front free endpaper printed label on rear pastedown admonishing the reader to "Never wet your thumb or finger to turn over a leaf in this or any other book." Little is known about John Skillman but he evidently frequented the regular morning court hearings in Lower Manhattan for people who had been arrested the previous day for relatively minor crimes such as drunkenness lewd behavior vagrancy petty theft and prostitution. His reports on these crimes which were probably modeled on those that had recently begun appearing regularly in London newspapers take the form of brief pun-filled comic vignettes or dialogues between the accused and the magistrate. For example "James G----- was sent by his employer with 10 shillings to buy screws---bought 5 shillings worth and expended the rest of the money in his own way. Is put in poetical language under the screws" and "Mary Stevenson entertains the opinion that 'time is money;' and having no instrument or machine whereby she might keep proper 'note of time' thought proper to obtain one at all hazards. She is now in close confinement for a time." Beneath the humor however are characterizations of male and female defendants of different races classes ethnic backgrounds -- some flattering some not. Scholar Brian Baaki has argued that by placing "an overwhelming volley of black malefactors" at the beginning of the text Skillman "tries to manufacture an association between African-Americans and crime." There may be room for a more nuanced reading but without doubt the book is of interest in the broader context of the social and cultural history of early nineteenth century New York.
