First edition. [4], cxiv, 153pp, [1]. Contemporary blind-stamped calf, contrasting gilt-tooled red morocco lettering-piece. Rubbed and marked, with surface wear to boards, spine slightly pitted. Very minimal touch of spotting to endpapers, otherwise internally clean and crisp. The first edition of a report recounting disputed parliamentary elections under James I by Sir John Glanville the younger (1586 â" 1661), English politician and Speaker of the House of Commons during the Short Parliament. A staunch Royalist during the Civil War, Glanville would be imprisoned in the Tower of London by Parliament for three years from 1645 to 1648. The extensive preface establishes the motive for the volume's eighteenth-century publication: 'in the Editor's judgement, these sheets contained much useful and general information on the subject of Controverted Elections, and that there never was such a time, in his opinion, when such kind of knowledge and information, was more likely to become of general utility to the public, than the present.' In the tumultuous political climate of 1775, amidst the outbreak of the American war, it seemed likely that Glanville's insight could prove valuable. ESTC T99928. Size: 8vo.…
