Book Details

Author: [Dugdale, William:]

Title: A Short View of the Late Troubles in England; Briefly setting forth, Their Rise, Growth, and Tragical Conclusion. As also, some Parallel thereof with the Barons-Wars in the time of King Henry III. But chiefly with that in France, called the Holy League, in the Reign of Henry III. and Henry IV. l

Publication: Oxford: Printed at the Theater for Moses Pitt 1681.

Description: Folio, pp. [vi], 136, 185-294, 361-439, [i], 449-488, 553-650, [iv], 737-959, [xiii] + portrait frontispiece. Irregular pagination as usual, includes catalogue at rear. Engraved printer's device to title-page, woodcut initials, engraved headpiece. Some pages heavily foxed but others not at all, light dampstaining to head edge from the middle on, some faint blotchy marks and scorches including one hole to 6D1 affecting a few letters, occasional pencil lines to margins. Contemporary speckled dark brown calf boards neatly rebacked in a slightly lighter shade, raised bands gilt ruled, title and date tooled directly, corners repaired. Boards scuffed with some scrapes and small repaired areas of loss, ffep foxed and repaired at top corner, without rfep, still good overall.

The ESTC differs from Wing in listing a separate 1671 edition on the evidence of one imperfect copy showing a different imprint; assuming that imprint is correct, this issue would be the second edition. The "last major production", initially published anonymously, of the antiquary Sir William Dugdale (1605-1686), "it is useful for its copiousness and the precision of its dates" (ODNB). Included as an appendix with its own divisional title page is a short work on "the Treaty for a Peace, Begun at Uxbridge, January 30. 1644," which is a reprint of a pamphlet originally published in 1645. After the index is a 5-page "Catalogue of Books Printed at the Theater in Oxford" for the year 1681.

Bibliography: ESTC R18097; Brunet II 868; Graesse II 443; Lowndes 692; Wing D 2492.
