Seller's Description:
None. Good. A very scarce, first edition of this poetry collection regarding two assassination plots against Charles II, the Rye House Plot and Popish Plot. Collated, complete. This anthology is sometimes erroneously described as the second edition of Thompson's 'Choice Collection of 120 Loyal Songs'. However, this is a separate work. With the bookplate of one Robert J Hayhurst to the front pastedown. Robert J Hayhurst was a keen collector of eighteenth century literature. He inherited the retail pharmacies, John Hayhurst and Son, based in Nelson, Lancashire. Rare, only seen three times at auction in the last forty years. The Popish Plot and the Rye House Plot both fed on anti-Catholic hysteria in England and Scotland at the time. They were both alleged conspiracies to assassinate Charles II. The Popish Plot was fabricated by Titus Oates. Oates later was arrested and convicted of perjury. The Rye House Plot was a plan to assassinate Charles II and his brother, James. The plot failed due to a fire in Newmarket. However, many individuals were prosecuted for the plot. These poems were published less than five years following the plot, and the same year that James Duke of York ascended the throne. The compiler, Nathaniel Thompson, was a Catholic Printer. Prior to the Popish Plot, Thompson sold many Popish books and beads. However, at the height of this controversy he denied his espousal of Catholicism. However, in 1682 he was formally charged as being a printer of 'libels against the religioun established'. Contemporary signature to the verso of title page, 'Wm Bushbys Book'. ESTC reference no R19822. A very scarce and important poetry collection, reflecting on the public sentiment regarding these assassination plots. In a contemporary sheep binding. Externally, generally smart. Rubbing to the joints and to the extremities. Minor loss to the leather at the extremities. Prior owner's bookplate to the front pastedown. Contemporary inscription to the verso of front endpaper, Wm Bushby's Book. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright. Minor chip to the top corner of c3, not affecting the pagination. Small loss to the lower corner of T1 with minor loss to the first two words of final two lines to T1v. Just the occasional light spots to pages. Good.
