About this Item

Thomas Sprat?s A True Account and Declaration of the Horrid Conspiracy Against the Late King, printed by Thomas Newcomb in London in 1686, is a Restoration-era political tract reflecting the upheavals of Stuart England. This example is bound with Copies of the Informations and Original Papers Relating to the Proof of the Horrid Conspiracy Against the Late King, a pairing that situates the account alongside official supporting material. Sprat?s text was originally issued to reinforce Stuart authority in the wake of the Rye House Plot, yet the author later acknowledged that alterations were ordered by James II. The admission stripped the text of its original claim to authenticity, transforming it into both a record of events and an artifact of political manipulation. Format: Duodecimo (12mo), single volume. Size: 7.25 in x 5 in (18.4 cm x 12.7 cm). Collation: [6], 221, [1]; 207 pp. Binding: Full leather. Illustrations: None. Edition: 1686. References: Lowndes. Condition: Good, with full leather binding tight and secure, mild rubbing at corners and hinges. SKU: #29255. PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.
