Leather. Zustand: Very Good. None (illustrator). First edition. A selection of very scarce pamphlet publications emphasising the anti-Catholic sentiment, and hysteria caused by the 'Popish' plots against the British Monarchy in the seventeenth century. Eight extraordinarily scarce works on the Popish Plot with several not seen at auction since the 1970's. Comprising of eight works bound as one. The first five pamphlets regard Titus Oates, William Bedloe and Miles Prance with their fictional 'Popish Plots'. These gentleman worked hard to convince the monarchy and general public that the Catholics and Jesuits intended to assassinate the King, Charles II, implicating many innocent people who lost their lives. The final three works focuses solely on Elizabeth Cellier, an accused Catholic who was imprisoned for her involvement in the so-called 'Meal-Tub Plot' against James II (Charles II's successor). Titus Oates, also known as Titus the liar was an English perjurer who fabricated the 'Popish Plot'. This plot was a supposed Catholic conspiracy to assassinate Charles II. The first work to this book, 'A True Narrative.' is the first edition, and is Oates asserting and declaring this plot, which led to the executions of at least 22 men. He was requested to publish his own narrative of the conspiracy which then took this form. Oates took advantage of the already existing Anti-Catholic sentiment which had flared from the King's marriage to the Catholic princess, Catherine of Portugal. Oates and William Bedloe even tried to implicate the Queen in this plot. It later transpired that this plot was false and Oates was tried for perjury. 'A True Narrative of the Horrid Popish Plot.' is lacking the frontispiece and the first three leaves after title page, work begins on the third page of the dedication to Charles II. 'The King's Evidence Justified.' is another work by Oates in the same year where he further defends his stance regarding this conspiracy. The ESTC notes that this work is a reply to Roger Palmer, The Earl of Castlemaine, a prominent Catholic who came under suspicion regarding this plot. Castlemaine was tried for treason and represented himself before becoming acquitted. 'A Modest Vindication of Titus Oates.' by Adam Elliot forms as the clergyman's memoir. He knew Oates from their time at Cambridge together and had some turbulence in their relationship. Oates had thrown some accusations around regarding Elliot to help undermine him as a witness in a legal case. He also created a lawsuit against Elliot accusing him of misdeeds during their Cambridge years. This memoir, written by the Church of England Clergyman, demonstrates how specious Oates's accusations against the Jesuits had been and refutes those accusations against himself. 'A Narrative and Impartial Discovery of the Horrid Popish Plot' is the account of one William Bedloe, an English fraudster who chose to corroborate the previous claims of Titus Oates and continue the tale of a supposed plot made by the Catholics against the King. He claims that he knew the details of the supposed murder of magistrate, Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey, giving names of men he claims that he saw commit the crime, stating that it was related to the 'Popish Plot'. For this information he was awarded £500. This work is Bedloe's chief writing and explores in detail his numerous allegations. The Oxford DNB notes that 'Bedloe was an opportunistic rogue, fraud and criminal. His rambling evidence led to the deaths of a number of innocent people. Although he was less odious, except to his victims, than Titus Oates, Bedloe's imposing personality and opportunism seem to have led his dupes not to see through his elaborate and, to a neutral eye, improbably lies until it was too late'. This work has an engraved portrait of Bedloe. 'A True Narrative and Discovery of Several Very Remarkable Passages' is a work by Miles Prance, one of the men accused by William Bedloe for murdering Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey. Prance was committed to Newgate for this crime. Whilst in prison, Prance confessed and then recanted. He then confessed again, implicating several other innocent people in the murder, which lead to their arrests and deaths. He gave evidence at the trial against these men and shared the reward money given with Bedloe. He also informed on many more Catholics under the influence of Titus Oates and William Bedloe. It was not until James II's reign that Prance was found guilty of perjury. This work is Prance's testimony regarding the murder of Godfrey and also includes information regarding a conspiracy to murder the Earl of Shaftsbury. This work has an engraved portrait of Prance. 'The Tryal and Sentence of Elizabeth Cellier' is the principal contemporary account of the notable Catholic midwife's treason trial for the alleged 'Meal-Tub Plot'. Cellier was innocent of this charge and was later acquitted. This work is the proceedings of Cellier's trial, with information on the jurors, and the court proceedings, verbatim. Pagination to this work begins on C1r as called for. The 'Meal-Tub Plot' was given its name as this was the location incriminating documents were found. 'Malice Defeated' is Elizabeth Cellier's vindication of herself following her release from prison after being accused of plotting to murder James II. The work gives her account of events, attacks her accuser Thomas Dangerfield, and also discusses the treatment, or torture, of prisoners in Newgate prison she witnessed. This then led to her being put on trial for libel. Cellier gained a nickname as the 'Popish Midwife' from her enemies. She was a witty, forthright woman who worked hard to advance the field of midwifery. 'Tho. Dangerfield's Answer to a Certain Scandaloud Lying Pamphlet' is a response to Elizabeth Cellier's 'Malice Defeated'. In this Dangerfield regards Cellier as a liar. Dangerfield's unreliability as a witness allowed Cellier's acquittal from her initial trial. Dangerfield published several pamphlets over time such as 'Dangerfield's Narrative'. Bound in a quart. book.

A contemporary collection of 8 complete and 10 incomplete publications on the Popish Plot and other English trials at the end of the 17th and the beginning of the 18th century. Bound in a contemporary full leather binding. Binding with some traces of wear but the whole in relatively good order. We only list the complete items in the collection.

Most of the publications are in good order allthough some leaves are dustsoiled or inkstained. Of the incomplete trials which form part of this collection we only mention the important '' The Tryal of Doctor Henry Sacheverell, before the house of Peers.'' London, J. Tonson, 1710. ESTC N474309. Our copy lacks the title and the last pages 329-335. We think it a pity to split up this collection formed immediately upon publication of these trials. The book shows no provenance marking except for a name ''P. Parston'', perhaps not contemporary, written in the corner of the first fly leaf.
