[Moses Pitt], [1681]. Hardcover. Pagination errors, particularly in the primary work. This item includes the following works prepared in one volume: (1) A Short View of the Late Troubles in England (pages 1-136, 185-294, 361-439, 449-488, and 553-650), (2) A Full Relation of the Passages concerning the Treaty for a Peace, Begun at Uxbridge (737-923), and (3) His Majesties Answers to Certain Papers (927-959). Unpaginated index following. Modern rebind with rebacked spine, but original boards retained; the interior rebind includes repairs to title page and first page of the preface. The binding of the rebind is sound. Boards rubbed and scraped, with heavy bumps to fore-edge corners. Frontispiece is lost (and any preceding pages). Title page and first page of the preface have been reinforced with archival paper in order to bind in with the original volume; of the title page, only the top three quarters survive. Publisher is presumed, because the extant portion of the title page is matched to the Moses Pitt publication, but copyright information in bottom margin is not present. Title page and first page of the preface are also heavily tanned and dulled. Dampstaining through about the first eighty pages. Prior bookseller's notes at front paste down, and several prior owners' names are inked to title page. Occasional markings throughout, including tiny, minor punctuation corrections inked through the preface; inked flourishes in the margins of pages 736-737; and penciled 8s in the margins of page 795. Additionally, there are remnants of extensive erased pencil scribblings at rear fly leaves and paste down. Photographs available upon request. Used: Good. Item #BBS-2023551
