The volumes in the series are: Vol. 1: Cartwrightiana, Vol. 2: The Writings of Robert Harrison and Robert Browne, Vol. 3: The Writings of Henry Barrow 1587-1590. Vol. 4: The Writings of John Greenwood 1587-1590, Vol 5: The Writings of Henry Barrow 1590-91, Vol 6: The Writings of John Greenwood and Henry Barrow 1591-1593. The series was originally published in the 1950s by George Allen & Unwin making available very rare Reformation and early Puritan material (tracts and manuscripts etc.) for the very first time. Most of the documents existed in their original state as difficult to locate, read and understand - for example: there are only two copies of 'A Plaine Refutation (1591)' and two copies of 'A Brief Discoverie of the False Church'. It is impossible to understand the rise and development of Independency and of the democratic idea in religion and in politics without reflection upon some of this rare material.

Grosart.
