Description: London, Henry Hills, 1688. First Edition, First Printing. Leather. 33p. A 17th-century pamphlet that has been bound in 3/4 navy blue leather with marbled boards. Very good condition, and attractively bound. Mild rubbing at the corners and at the tips of the spine. Corners of endpapers tanned along the edges. A few pages have lightly chipped top corners, not affecting the text. Early owner's notation at top of title page, and the same owner has hand-corrected a few errors in the pagination. Save for a few age-related blemishes and very faint underlining on page 4, the text is clean, and the binding is tight. Henry Care (1646-1688) was an English anti-Catholic propagandist who also criticized the Church of England for supposed "popish" sympathies. Very Good .
