1614655K5London: William Hall and John Beale 1614. Leather. Very Good. 16.5" by 11". Christoph Schweitzer. A very scarce edition of this highly historically significant work of British history written by an extremely influential historian and cartographer and offering a thorough exegesis of early British history from Julius Caesar to King James. A reissue of the 1611 first edition with imprint date altered as called for. ESTC Citation No. S122020. Folio. The work is very scarce with the 1614 reissue being a particularly scarce edition. Collated lacking errata leaf to the rear of the work and front and rear blank. Leaf 802 is misnumbered as leaf 801 as called for. Pagination is continuous from 'The Theatre of The Empire of Great Britaine' but the work is considered complete as a single volume. Contains the exceptionally scarce three leaves between pi 1 and Mm2 containing the author's preface. This is not present in the ESTC copy. Engraved title page has been trimmed and mounted with slight loss to fore edge. With an engraved title page and vignette engravings throughout by Christoph Schweitzer. John Speed is renowned for his work as both a leading English cartographer and historian and is considered one of the best known English mapmakers of the early modern period. Following encouragement from English antiquarian and historian William Camden Speed began this work published first in 1611 as the 'Historie of Great Britaine'. Many of the historical sources utilised for the work remain unknown although they do include the work of cartographers Christopher Saxton and John Norden. The work is considered a continuation of The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine first published between 1611 and 1612 within which is contained the first set of individual county maps of England and Wales. Speed himself considered his History of Great Britaine his major work the majority of which was funded by Sir Fulke Grevillean the Elizabethan poet dramatist and statesman. The work offers a highly detailed summary of Early English history and whilst the work has been criticised for a number of inaccuracies the subsequent frequent citations of the work in later historical pieces reflect its historical significance. Among others the work offers detailed information regarding the early successors and founders of English institutions including The Saxons Henry VIII and Edward IV. Written by one of the most influential historians and cartographers of the early modern period this extremely scarce 1614 edition of The History of Great Britaine is a sought after piece of significant historical and literary non fiction. Rebacked with the original contemporary calf boards preserved. Externally very smart with professional repair to the extremities. Slight rubbing and marking to the boards. Hinges slightly strained but firm. Evidence of bookplate removal to rear pastedown. Internally firmly bound. Engraved title page has been trimmed and mounted with slight loss to fore edge. Lacking front and rear blank and errata leaf to the rear of the work. The occasional light tidemark to the extremity of the occasional leaf. Handling marks and the occasional spot. The occasional contemporary ink annotations heavier to the final leaf. The occasional closed tear. Professional repair to leaf 5A2. Very Good William Hall and John Beale hardcover

Rebacked in near-matching calf with raised bands and gilt numerals to spine and early brown gilt spine label laid down. Minor loss to base spine with loss of replacement bottom headband.

Owner's signature of Elizabeth Pryor in old hand to replacement blank front endpage. Trimmed remains of lettering in old hand to top dedication page. Title page from the 1627 edition ESTC S124203 bound in with imprint 'Imprinted at London: Anno Cum Privilegio 1627. Are to be sold by George Humble at the Whit horse in Popes-head Alley'. However this is the 1650 third edition ESTC S121978 not the 1627 second edition. T.p. substitution is indicated by the fact that pattern of minor worm damage to t.p. does not match that to frontis and dedication page. This and the slightly smaller size of the t.p. in comparison to other sheets as well as sigs pagination 49 rather than 47 unnumbered pp. to rear and presence of the 1629 frontis. port. engraving by Samuel Savery indicate that this is the 1650 Humble edn with the 1627 t.p. bound in other possible edns do not have matching pagination or signatures. We have included a printout of the 1650 t.p. from an online edition showing near-identical t.p. engraved by the notable Dutch cartographer and engraver Jodocus Hondius after a design by Speed. Some black smut marks to pp. 860-61 and 900-01 none more than c. 8cm obscuring text slightly. Slight dampstaining to bottom outer corner final 10ff. Very minor worm damage extending from rear of vol. to p. 725 two holes to margin with one pinprick hole only affecting text.

Speed produced his History of Great Britain as a continuation of its companion atlas volume The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine pagination continuous from companion vol. but this vol. is complete in itself.
