‎"Contemporary collection of in-folio printed texts on the Popish Plot ; the Henry Sacheverell impeachment trial and the Rye House plot of 1683."‎

‎ A contemporary collection of 8 complete and 10 incomplete publications on the Popish Plot and other English trials at the end of the 17th and the beginning of the 18th century. Bound in a contemporary full leather binding. Binding with some traces of wear but the whole in relatively good order. We only list the complete items in the collection. [1] An impatial state of the case of the Earl of Danby.... London 1679. Complete. ESTC R205902. [2] The information of Stephen Dugdale, Gent. delivered at the Bar of the House of Commons...London, 1680 . Complete . ESTC R235169 . [3] An Answer to Mr. Langhorn's Speech...(London, 1679). Complete . ESTC R16400. [4] No faith of credit to be given to Papists.. London, Tho. Cockerill, 1681. (title soiled, upper marg. last lves cropped) ESTC 12871. [5] An impartial consideration of those speeches which pass under the Name of the five jesuits. Lately executed...London, Chiswell, 1679. Complete. ESTC R2046. [6] The true speeches of Thomas Whitebread , William Harcourt , John Fenwick , John Gavan, A. Turner, before their execution at Tyburn. London, H.Hills, 1679. Complete. ESTC R5077. [7] A narrative and impartial discovery of the horrid Popish Plot...(by W. Bedloe), London, R. Boulter, 1679. Complete but for the portait. (lacks the portrait). ESTC R11047 [8] The last speech & Behaviour of William late Lord Russel....London, J.C. and Thomas Fox, 1683. Complete. ESTC R9946. Most of the publications are in good order allthough some leaves are dustsoiled or inkstained. Of the incomplete trials which form part of this collection we only mention the important '' The Tryal of Doctor Henry Sacheverell, before the house of Peers...'' London, J. Tonson, 1710. ESTC N474309. Our copy lacks the title and the last pages 329-335.. We think it a pity to split up this collection formed immediately upon publication of these trials. The book shows no provenance marking except for a name ''P. Parston'', perhaps not contemporary, written in the corner of the first fly leaf.‎
