London: John Crump, 1680 A fair copy of the 'Second Edition Corrected and much Enlarged. Whereunto is added His Character, and A compleat Catalogue of all the Honours conferr'd by him on several Persons.' First published in 1660, this is a largely sympathetic view of Cromwell and has been attributed to Henry Fletcher and William Roybould who are listed as the publishers for the 1st edition. This copy has been rebound, probably in the early 1800's, as there is a signature of William Hall, June 3rd 1826, on the first new initial blank. It lacks the frontispiece but is otherwise complete. The half leather binding has raised bands to the spine and gilt tooled decoration. There is a title label (part rubbed) and a stamped date to the base. The spine has some wear to joints and the base but is sound. The boards have scuffing and wear to corners and little scuffing to the marbled suface. The endpapers are marbled. Contents: 2 initial blanks (1800's); title page in red and black ink;… Read More
