The Life and Death of Henrietta Maria de Bourbon, Queen to that blessed King and Martyr, Charles I. London: Dorman Newman, 1685. 12º (138 x 80mm). Three royal crests in woodcut on B3r. Three advertisement leaves at end. (A few headlines close cut, F5v and F6r with small ink stains at margin, occasional light soiling.) Later calf in period style, multiple blind fillets on covers, spine with raised bands, directly lettered with date, brown morocco title label, red edges (joints lightly rubbed). Provenance : Sir Henry Hope Edwardes, 10th Baronet (1829-1900; bookplate). A reissue with cancel title-page of The Life and Death of that Matchless Mirrour of Magnanimity, and Heroick Vertues Henrietta Maria de Bourbon (London, 1669). Both issues are rare. ESTC locates 7 copies of the 1669 issue and 6 copies of this later issue of 1685. No sale of either is recorded on the on-line databases.
