Howard, Robert: The History of the Reigns of Edward and Richard II. With reflections, and characters of their chief ministers and favourites. As also, a comparison between those Princes Edward and Richard the Second, with Edward the First, and Edward the Third. Written in the year 1685. London: printed by F. Collins, for Thomas Fox, at the Angel in Westminster-Hall, 1690. 8vo., pp.[vi], xvi, [i], 183, [i]. Occasional light spotting but very clean within. Contemporary dark brown speckled calf, gilt spine with title and raised bands, edges sprinkled blue and red. Old paper label to foot of spine, upper joint cracked but holding firmly, a little toning to endpapers, very good indeed. Later work by Sir Robert Howard (1626-1698), politician and playwright, published during a particularly consequential period in an already notoriously turbulent life. 'Under James II, Howard helped bring about the revolution that put William of Orange on the throne. He served in William's first parliament, contending in the Commons on 22nd January 1689 that James II had in effect 'abdicated the government' (Oliver, 256). Several years later Howard was to sign the 'association' of 1696, an agreement to defend William against the Jacobites. As in the past, Howard tried to strike a balance between his royalist sympathies and his belief in the rights of parliament. In February 1689 the king appointed him to the privy council, the crowning achievement of his political career. Howard's final years were taken up with both professional and literary concerns. Late in 1694 he helped Betterton and his actors to procure a licence for the new theatre at Lincoln's Inn Fields; and in 1695 he renewed his friendship with [his brother-in-law] John Dryden. Meanwhile, he had published his History of the Reigns of Edward and Richard II (1690), involving him in the ongoing controversy concerning the divine right of kings, and The History of Religion (1694), an anti-Catholic tract.'
