Descripción del artículo del vendedor

This extremely rare first edition was published and printed in 1662 and boasts exceptional provenance This compelling historical document provides a chilling firsthand account of the trial and execution of John James, a prominent Fifth Monarchist, during the tumultuous early Restoration period, through the eyes of those who were there What sets this narrative apart is its claim to be "faithfully collected from such as were eye and ear witnesses." This makes it an invaluable primary source, offering unfiltered insights into the political and religious tensions of the time. The inclusion of 'several occasional passages and speeches' brings the drama of the era to life, allowing you to step back into a world of fervent beliefs and harsh justice. Furthermore, the inclusion of the accounts of the demise of those who prosecuted James, adds an element of the superstitions and beliefs of the period. The Story of John James and the Fifth Monarchists John James's execution at Tyburn was a pivotal moment in the suppression of the Fifth Monarchists, a radical Protestant sect that challenged the newly restored monarchy of Charles II. This book provides a rare glimpse into the beliefs and actions of this group, offering vital context to a period of intense religious and political upheaval. Showcasing the anxieties and fears that gripped England as the nation grappled with the aftermath of the Civil War and the return of the monarchy Provenance and Condition This book boasts an extraordinary provenance, having been owned by the esteemed bibliophile, The Honourable Thomas Grenville (1755-1846). His meticulous collection, now part of the British Library's Grenville Library, is a testament to the historical and literary significance of this work. Due to its age the hinge is weak and there is part of spine missing but otherwise is beautifully bound with gilt to both the boards and edges.…

Descripción de la tienda

Arch Books is a specialist rare book business based in Richmond, London, dealing in first editions, fine bindings, travel and exploration books, illustrated books, military history, historical documents, and antique prints. We help private collectors, interior designers, gift buyers, and institutions source distinctive works on paper, with particular emphasis on condition, provenance, bibliographic accuracy, and presentation. Founded in 2020 by Guy Nathan, his own interest in collecting works on paper began in 2005, following a visit to the Grosvenor House Art & Antiques Fair with his grandmother, Pauline Willes, herself a passionate collector. That experience ignited a lifelong fascination with historical documents, art, scientific illustration, military ephemera and literature. For someone with a deep interest in history, collecting offered a particularly tangible way to understand the past - not simply through the events themselves, but through the objects, images and words by which they were recorded and experienced at the time. Whether a scientific drawing, a piece of military ephemera or a work of literature, each provides its own direct connection to a particular moment in history. The thrill of holding a first edition of Shackleton’s South, for instance, lies in that sense of immediacy: experiencing the book much as its first readers did in 1919, and encountering his extraordinary story through the same pages that introduced it to the world.
