Vol. 1: 'True Account and Declaration of the Horrid etc.' ; Vol. 2: 'Copies of the Informations and Original Papers Relating to the Proof of The Horrid etc.'. Full calf, five raised bands, burgundy morocco label and gilt lettering. Collation is complete with all signatures in order, though numbering of vol. 2 is a bit of a hash (available on request). Contemporary binding is subtly rebacked with much of the original backstrip and morocco label preserved, tips revived, now very sound and presentable. Tide mark to fore edge corners, reference notes to two pages, Vol. 2 signature K is a bit skewed (both pictured). Otherwise a clean and square copy on quality rag paper. VERY GOOD. Item #1172
