About this Item

Endpaper, title at 'A'; 164pp Handwritten note regarding Wagstaffe's work on front free endpaper, which is almost detached, which states that this, the Vindication, was his principal work, that he was a non-juring clergyman and lived from Feb 15th 1645 to Oct 17th 1712. Quarter leather. Marbled boards. Front board missing. The title page is soiled and following a detachment much earlier has been pasted to a thicker paper which has been resewn to the text block. The verso appears to be blank, so without loss. The last page, 164, is similarly soiled and also much torn, etc. It has been taped with paper and reattached to the text block at the end - again without loss of text. There is an errata section at end of page 164. Bound with the Vindication is The Reasonableness of a Toleration, believed by some to be by John Sage, author of A Vindication of a Discourse (1701). which has a handwritten copy, neat and readable, of the missing preface, bound in. It occupies 'A'3 & 4. The title page begins at 'A'. Errata section at rear with the word "FINIS" on page 144 on the verso of Mm2. Soiling to title and last page in both vols. Both volumes are scarce, the second particulary so. Both texts complete but poor condition. Seller Inventory # GWAGSTVI044
