A sammelband of four pamphlets in a later (failed) calf binding. Front cover detached, rar hinge cracked, much worn and dry. Scattered paper flaws intnerally, some chipping, messily opened pages, but generally very good internally. Comprising three (of four) of the Newest and Most Ingenious Poems along with a collection of poems on affairs of state (the middle of three that were published) by Andrew Marvell and others (Marvell is not named until the third collection, but barely disguised in volumes 1 and 2 - here as A. M______ in "A Dialogue Between Two Horses" and on the title page). They are all printed in 1689, the year the The Glorious Revolution became official as James II fled to Ireland and Mary & William ascended the throne in what has been aptly described as the last successful invasion of England. Bound with the separate title pages; the 3rd (32pp), The 4th (33pp); 2nd Part of Poems on Affairs of State (30pp); and the 2nd (31pp). Each complete.

Everyone was getting behind the new power structure - out with tyranny and Catholicism, in with constitutional monarchy and the Dutch, and these rapidly released short books of poetry on current events are fascinating artifacts of this moment. Size: Quarto (4to). Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo. Category: Poetry; History. Inventory No: 049735.
