Box darkened and rubbed, black stamps to bottom and lower edges, edges starting. Each booklet featuring the circular black ownership stamp of 'J. H. F., Hull' to its front wrapper and inscribed in brown ink to each title page: "F. H. Fryer, 10/9/46," single pencil note to first vol. A little creasing and foxing, else, clean, tight and bright. Very good/ good+ A pleasing set of J R Tutin's experiment in reprinting the "best work in the orthography of the original editions, with the minimum of editing [.] of our old seventeenth-century verse-writers" in the original illustrated cardboard presentation box, with neat modifications by a previous owner. It appears the publisher changed his mind over which poets to include mid-production of the booklets, with Anne, Countess of Winchilsea being selected in place of Nicholas Hookes as booklet no. V and Poor Robin's Almanac replacing "Probably a Selection from Thomas Randolph's Poems" as the final volume. J. H. Fryer of Hull was perhaps a relative of the Pocklington-born, Hull-based watchmaker John Henry Fryer (1848-1921)?
