Item description from seller

folded along fore- and lower edges so as to fit the volume, short tears in fore-margin from a previous folding, entering text but without loss, pp. 4, [Bound with:] Dryden (John) The Medall. A Satyre against Sedition. Printed for Jacob Tonson, 1682, FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE, lightly browned, first and last leaves dusty, pp. [xii], 20, 4to, bound with 10 other tracts in contemporary, or nearly, panelled calf, from the Macclesfield Library with North Library book-plate, but no blindstamps, very good. A handsome volume of tracts, all but one from the years 1689-91, on politico-religious (anti-Catholic) topics. The writer, who describes himself as 'a passionate Lover both of Monarchy and the Church of England', appeals for an end to religious bickering amongst Protestants, since that only opens the way to the reinstatement of 'Popery.' The exception to the above categories is the first edition, first issue, of Dryden's The Medall. ESTC, although describing (and discussing at relative length) the variations, does not separate the two when it comes to giving locations: MacDonald refers to the rarity of the first, and Wise and Pforzheimer, for instance, have the second issue, while of the 6 copies listed in Folger's Hamnet, only one is first issue. The other tracts form a representative collection of the religious controversies of the time. They include tracts relating to Scotland (Covenanters) and Ireland, notably 'A Full and Impartial Account of all the Secret Consults, Negotiations, Stratagems, and Intriegues of the Romish Party in Ireland, from 1660, to this present year 1689. For the settlement of Popery in that kingdom' (ESTC R493, only 3 locations in the US). A full list may be had on request. One relates to Scotland, another to Ireland. The condition on the whole is good, though some are cut close, and a few outer leaves are soiled. (ESTC R2519; ESTC R17608, Macdonald 13ai).…
