Beschreibung

With their proper Remedies, in a brief Essay on the long Reign of King Henry III. By J. Y. of Grayes-Inn, Esq. First Edition. Small 8vo. [151 x 95 x 13 mm]. [12]ff, 80pp. Bound c.1800 in calf, the covers tooled in blind with a border of a chain roll and repeated impressions of a floral festoon and tassle. The spine divided into six panels with raised bands flanked by a gilt fillet, lettered in gilt in the second and dated at the foot, the others tooled in blind, the edges of the boards hatched in blind, plain endleaves, sprinkled edges. (Slightly rubbed). Wing Y6. With an initial blank leaf. A very good copy. Based on Sir Robert Cotton's A Short View of the Long Life and Raigne of Henry the Third (1627). Repeated ink signature of "Rob Owen" on title and Porkington Library booklabel, with shelfmarks "Shelf 5, Case 5, No.113". Sir Robert Owen of Porkington, or Brogyntyn, Hall in Shropshire, was a noted bibliophile. The binding bears the same floral festoon and tassle tools as the James II (item 22), but Yalden's work was not deemed worthy of red morocco and gilt edges. It was subsequently in the Harlech Library at Glyn Cywarch. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers ebc6018
