A propos de cet article

The (almost) full title: An impartial examination of the second volume of Mr. Daniel Neal's History of the Puritans : in which the reflections of that author, upon King James I. and King Charles I. are proved to be groundless : His misrepresentations of the conduct ot the Prelates of those times fully detected : And his numerous mistakes in history, and unfair way of quoting his authorities, exposed to public view. . With an appendix, in answer to two common, but unreasonable complaints of the dissenters against the established church . London: Printed for R. Gosling, at the mine and crown, over against Fetter-Lane end, in Fleet street; J. Clarke, at the Bible, under the royal exchange; and W. Thurlbourne, at Cambridge, M.DCC.XXXVI. [1736]. [iv], 434, [ii]pp. []2, B8-Z8, Aa8-Ee8, Ff2. With the half-title present with advertisements on the verso but missing the final advertising page at the end. ETSC T112825. First edition of the first of what became three volumes taking issue with Neal, especially in his characterization of the English royalty. Following this work, "Grey answered Neal's third volume in 1737 and his fourth in 1739" (Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900 v. 23, p. 219). Size: Small Octavo (7 1/2-8"). 434 pages. Item Type: Book. The text block is tight, bright and unmarked, except for a small decoration above the "The End" on the last page. There is a large spot on the half-title page and the top right corner of the title page has been torn off, probably to remove the signature of a previous owner. Very Good-Minus hardcover in early rebinding. The spine has six compartments with the binder's title "Grey Against Neal" in gilt on a morocco label with a gilt frame. While the text block is tight, the minus rating is because the front cover is detatched. 18th century calf with blind tooled panel design; red sprinkled text block edges. The tooled covers are heavily worn, as is the head and foot of the spine with some loss at the foot . No foxing in this copy. There is a bookplate for the Wisconsin Consistory Library (Number 506) on the inside front cover noting that the book was donated by Herbert N. Laflin but there are no other library markings.
