About this Item
Description:
Two parts bound in one volume. [8],498,212,[11],[3]pp. Contemporary calf, rebacked with original calf laid down, later gilt morocco label. Spine ends worn, cracked down center of spine. One signature loose, scattered foxing and tanning. Good. In a folding cloth box, gilt leather label. The present copy bears the ownership inscription on the front free endpaper: "Mary Atkinson her book 1750." Second edition of Bishop's work, but the first combined edition of the two parts issued separately in 1661 and 1667, and the first edition to contain the appendix, TRUTH AND INNOCENCY DEFENDED; AGAINST FALSEHOOD AND ENVY., by John Whiting, which has its own separate titlepage and imprint. Bishop's work is one of the great and reliable accounts of the Quaker persecutions in New England. While himself a resident of England, he was in receipt of correspondence from Friends in America, much of which forms the basis of this work. On Dec. 19, 1660 the Colony of Massachusetts sent to Prince Charles a petition defending the hanging of three Friends in their legal jurisdiction. Bishop was much incensed by this attempted defense, and this catalogue of horrors was the result. "Most exhaustive contemporary indictment of God-fearing Puritans driven by insensate religious fervor to sickening brutalities against other religious fanatics who dared to differ from themselves. Witch-hunting was bad; this was worse" - Howes. SABIN 5631. CHURCH 571, 598 (refs). EUROPEAN AMERICANA 703/16. HOWES B481, "aa.". Seller Inventory # WRCAM35112

Foxing and tanning, but good. Second edition of Bishop's work, but the first combined edition of the two parts issued separately in 1661 and 1667, and the first edition to contain the appendix, TRUTH AND INNOCENCY DEFENDED; AGAINST FALSEHOOD AND ENVY., by John Whiting, which has its own separate titlepage and imprint.
