Paperback. Small 8vo. Self-cover. Pp. 417-424. Near fine. Faintly age toned, as usual, else bright and attractive. Single issue (June 20, 1681) from the third volume of this Catholic-bashing weekly whose purpose was to fan the flames of anti-Catholicism supposedly begun by Titus Oates and which gripped England from 1678 to 1681. Oates wanted all Brits and Scots to believe that the Catholic Church in England was trying to assassinate King Charles II. On page 423 a contemporary hand neatly pens "Remarkable" alongside one anecdote about "a famous Virgin, called Juliana." This particular issue was published as the hysteria was waning, and soon afterward Oates was tried for perjury and found guilty. A handsome example.

20 pp. fol., disbound, pages partly detached, foxing and staining especially outer leaves.

Belasyse's second wife was the daughter of the Marquess of Winchester.

2pp., foolscap 8vo. On watermarked laid paper, and plainly intended as an index to a volume of bound tracts. Aged and worn, with chipped edges, and a small part of the bottom outer corner of the leaf torn away, resulting in the loss of two numbers from the pagination. The document is headed 'The Contents of the 2. Volume', and is closely written in a clerk's hand. Both pages divided into two columns. The first third of the list, consisting of around 40 items, is headed 'Narratives', beginning with 'By Thomas Dangerfield' and ending with 'Remarks on some passages in ye life of Mr Blood relating to ye D. of B.' The second third of the document is headed 'Tryalls' and begins 'of Sir George Wakeman | Marshall | Rumby | Corker | [the last three names] Benedicin Monks', and ends with 'Tryial Conviction & condemnation of Andrew Bromigh & Wm Atkins | Priests at Stafford And Charles Kerne at Hereford Assizes'. The document also contains brief notes of 'Narratives in ye 1st. volume' and 'Tryalls in ye 1st. Volume', as well as a list of names in the second volume. The identity of the compiler is unknown. The book collector James Bindley (1737-1818) was a notable collector of material on the subject, and the list may relate to material sold after his death. The London bookseller Percy Dobell was a notable seller of such material, and the item may well have been handled by him.
