Title page dated 1704. (Title pages for "She wou'd if She cou'd" and "The Man of Mode; or Sir Fopling Flutter" dated 1703. "The Comical Revenge: or Love in a Tub" directly follows the main title page and does not have its own title page and neither do the Poems that follow at the end.) Later binding, probably from the early 19th century, with fore-edge trimmed. Brown half-leather with bluish marbled boards and gilt lettering and ruling on the spine. Darker brown leather title label with "Etherege's Works" in gilt. Tooled double ruling along the edges of the leather spine and corners. 288 numbered text pages, preceded by eight unnumbered preliminary pages, including the title page, and a blank flyleaf and a blank endpaper, and followed by a blank endpaper. Book measures 7 1/2" x 4 3/4" x 3/4". VERY GOOD condition. Excellent exterior with just light general wear all around. Spine is sun-toned to a darker hue of brown. Spine gilt is bright and unworn. Book is very tightly bound and secure with very little wear to the leather joints and just slight cracking to the front inner paper hinge but with no sense of fragility. Text is very bright and clean with only some sporadic very light foxing. Pages 1 through 8 have a tiny nick to the fore edge near the top corner. Otherwise close to flawless pages with no staining, creasing, or tears. Faint previous owner's signature at top edge of title page and a few small bookseller's notations in faint light pencil on front endpaper and pastedown..

Description:
A compilation of Quarles' works. The overall title page with details of the publisher is missing, but there is a dedication to King Charles I which was clearly specially written for the work, which makes it likely that it was published in the 1630's (it makes no reference to Civil War). Each work has a separate title page or a large heading, and retains the dedications etc written when they were first published. The first text is 'A Feast for Worms' totalling 64 pages, which has a note for the Reader and has pages 13-36 misbound out of sequence. The second is Pentelogia, a short text covering pp 65-70. The third is Hadassa with a separate title page, preface to the Reader, introduction, dedication, and the History of Esther, running to p 147. The fourth is Job Militant with half title page, proposition, dedication and text running to p 231.
