THE EARLIEST ATLAS OF THE BRITISH ISLES AD THE EARLIEST WORLD ATLAS BY AN ENGLISHMAN. FIRST EDITION of "The Theatre"; 1611 bound with the second edition 1631 of the "Prospect" "The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine. was the earliest English attempt at producing an atlas on a grand scale with the first detailed maps of the provinces of Ireland the first set of county maps consistently attempting to show the boundaries of territorial divisions and the first truly comprehensive set of English town plans-a notable contribution to British topography. Perhaps as many as fifty of the seventy-three towns had not previously been mapped and about fifty-one of the plans were probably Speed's own work. A balance is struck between the modern and historical with information placed on the edges of the maps about antiquarian remains and sites and vignettes of famous battles together with arms of princes and nobles. This additional information is one of the Theatre's most significant contributions" Dictionary of National Biography. The "Theatre" is complete with engraved architectural title engraved Royal Achievements by Jodocus Hondius dated 1611 letterpress list of kingdoms and woodcut royal arms three letterpress section titles with woodcut borders three woodcut royal arms 67 double-page engraved maps most by Jodocus Hondius woodcut head- and tail-pieces and initials mounted on guards throughout. The "Prospect" was intended as a supplement to the "Theatre" and includes 22 maps of different parts of the world including the famous world map presumably by Abraham Goos and the map of America both showing California as an island. With engraved portrait frontispiece bound before "Theatre". NOTE: The "Prospect" is lacking "Invasions" but with 'Canaan' bound in its place and lacking the final text leaf on 'Civill Warres'.

Second Edition revised and enlarged and reissued in 1625 and again in 1627; Speeds Historie of Great Britain was originally published in 1612 with The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine as a companion volume though continuously paginated The Historie being the second work and the contents listing refers to the first four books which were part of the Theatre although this work books 5 - 10 is complete in itself. His account of the reign of Henry VIII p. 998 is followed by an appendix described in the running head as A Catalogue of the Religious Houses Colledges and Hospitals sometimes in England and Wales. These sections hold a wealth of information on early successors and founders of English Institutions. It was likely Speed an apt historian himself borrowed many of his materials from William Camden and was supplied by many Sir Robert Cotton Sir Henry Spelman and other antiquaries with whom he was acquainted. Although he probably had access to historical sources that are now lost to us he certainly used the work of Saxton and Norden his work as a historian is considered mediocre and secondary in importance to his map-making and the town plans he drew. Despite its many defects the Historie was very frequently cited by later writers. An important rich historical and artifactual book on Early English history.

186532612Washington 1865. 16pp disbound light rubberstamp Good.<br/><br/> Speed was a Kentuckian appointed as Lincoln's Attorney General in 1864. Though a Border State moderate he quickly became an all-out Union man with the outbreak of war. Here he opines that trial of the alleged presidential assassins should occur by military commission rather than civil courts: the law of war as part of the law of nations has implicitly been adopted in the Constitution. "When lawless wretches become so impudent and powerful as not to be controlled and governed by the ordinary tribunals of a country armies are called out and the laws of war invoked." The laws of war do not require different treatment of "secret active enemies" and "open active enemies" who would be tried by military tribunal. Under these circumstances the alleged assassins may be tried by military court without a jury. <br/>FIRST EDITION. Monaghan 739. II Harv. Law Cat. 634. Not in LCP. unknown books
