First edition. [2], 13pp, [1]. Recent gilt-ruled tree-calf, contrasting red morocco lettering-piece. Scattered spotting, vertical crease to text-block. The first edition of a rare panegyric on the coronation of King Charles II, including a short tribute to George Monck, 1st Duke of Albemarle (1608-1670), a professional soldier whose support for moderates in parliament proved decisive in the Restoration of the Monarchy. In true Restoration fashion, attributed to the same author is a slightly earlier, similarly reverent work Upon the death of his late highness, Oliver lord protector of the Common-Wealth of England, Scotland and Ireland, and the dominions and territories thereunto belonging (1658). The tract has been tentatively - although far from conclusively - attributed to Governor Thomas Mayhew, the Elder (1593-1682), autocratic ruler of the first European colony at Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, in no small part through the presence of its Sabin entry, reasonably suggesting an American connection. Mayhew, who first settled in Massachusetts during the 1631/2 Great Migration of Puritans across the Atlantic, was notable for his persistent missionary work - an endeavour continued, with significantly more fervour, by his son, Thomas Mayhew the Younger - as well as his peaceful relations with the Native Wampanoag tribes living in the area, to whom he deferred political authority.

FIRST EDITION. Engraved frontispiece of Parliamentary chambers and Charles I, title within decorative border with woodcut device and the letters "C V" in contemporary brown ink on either side of the device, woodcut initials, head- and tailpieces Contemporary full calf, possibly repaired at a very early date; interior excellent. From the library of the Birmingham Law Society with the name in gilt on the front cover and bookplate on the paste-down, as well as small stamps on title and a few text leaves. First edition. This volume contains the record of all the proceedings between Parliament and King Charles I between the end of 1641 and early 1643. In 1640, Charles established the Long Parliament in order to acquire funds for the Bishop's War against the Scots. However, as soon as the Long Parliament took control, they began dismantling the monarchy's authority by removing the King's advisors and sympathizers. This text represents a tumultuous period in British history coinciding with the very beginning of the English Civil War, making it an important reference source.…
