About This Item
London: J. Humphries, 1690. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good-/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Balance of title, "Intituled The Case Of Allegiance Due To Soveraign Princes, Stated and Resolved." Collectors notes read "Wing J840." Wing and McAlpin seem to reference a 2nd, Wing 841, I presume and also 1690. Originally done as pamphlet, quarto collation with first signature "b" page one after title a page verso blank, 34 pages plus restored end sheets. Boards measure 8" X 6". Has been expertly laid into gray hard covers (our restorer assures me the glue is reversible) with black gilt lettered spine label. The title page and texts last page (and to a lesser degree the adjacent pages) have odd walnut colored smudges/stains. The balance of the text is minimally foxed and untrimmed, trace red edge stain.
