First edition. Edward Almack (1852-1917) purchased this original book of prayers for members of the Cavalier army and decided to reproduce it in facsimile with his added commentary as he concluded, "no other copy is known to exist, nor is there any trace of the mention of such a work" (Introduction). The work was first published in 1648 during the Second Civil War and intended to inspire the Cavalier troops through devotional text and prayer. Octavo. Half-tone frontispiece with tissue guard, illustrations to text. Original black diagonally combed cloth, bevelled edges, front cover lettered and decorated in gilt, top edge gilt, others untrimmed. Pencil annotations to endpapers. Cloth lightly soiled, spine and tips rubbed and bumped, foxing to outer leaves. A very good copy.
