Complete two volume set uniformly bound in matching dark green gilt tooled hardbacks. Rubbed and worn but still firm and square and showing well. Contents clean and tidy, just some pencil notes and a couple of bookplates at the endpapers. No textual pen-marks and not from a library so no such stamps or labels. Size: Quarto (200mm x 165mm). Note: both title-pages and frontispieces slightly closely cropped. Also note: the Volume 2 frontispiece (Cromwell between the Pillars) appears to be mis-bound and should be with the England's Worthies tract. A scarce set of books. According to the bibliographer Lowndes: Only "250 copies printed, and of these many copies were destroyed by fire." Each tract has a title-page. Comprises, Volume 1: England's Remembrancer. 1657. Reprinted, 1819. The Fatal Vespers. 1657. Reprinted, 1817. History of the Gunpowder Treason. 1679. Reprinted, 1819. The King's Maiesties Declaration to his Subjects, concerning Lawful Sports. 1618.
