Very Good - Small folio (approx. 195 × 145 mm). Title printed in red and black. Frontispiece: finely engraved plate after Wenceslaus Hollar (1607–1677), depicting six oval portrait medallions of Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I, Elizabeth I, James I, and Charles I, arranged round an architectural cartouche with the royal arms above — a sharp, clean impression. Pagination: [18], 1051 pp., [2 ads], includes three inserted advertisement leaves after p. 226, a bookseller’s catalogue for Samuel Speed.
Contemporary panelled calf, raised bands, gilt double-fillet borders; corners lightly bumped, some gentle rubbing to spine ends, but sound and unrestored. Title and text crisp, some faint age-toning and occasional foxing; a handsome, unsophisticated example.
Collatio: [A]², a⁴, b², B–6D⁴ (i.e., [18], 1051, [1]) pp. Total pagination: 1,051 pages of text + [18] preliminary leaves (title, dedication, preface, and “Table”) + [2] advertisement leaves at the end.
