Book Description Cloth, folio, 36 cm, xix, 316 pp. 8,692 entries. A catalogue, photographically reproduced from index cards of an extraordinarily rich collection. The range of dates of pamphlets and serials in the collection is from ca. 1520 to 1843; three-fourths of these, however, are dated between 1641 and 1719. "Even within these eighty years there is a shorter period extending from 1679 to 1719 which is the real core of the Collection. There is a remarkably rich concentration in the years 1709-13, with as many as 2,015 pieces (1,295 catalogue entries), probably representing a substantial proportion of the output of pamphlets in England during those years". The collection is essentially that collected by the Bowdler family. The range of subjects is and representative of English publishing of the time, "comprising everything from serious religious work to scurrilous and indeed bawdy satirical verse ,But, above all, he was interested in those crucial areas of controversy which hinged upon the vital theme of the relationship between Church and State, religion and politics, from the years of the Popish Plot and the Exclusion Crisis, through the reign of James II and the Revolution, and into the era of the Non-jurors". The writer most voluminously represented in the collection is the Dissenter Daniel Defoe, with over 100 entries. Other authors range from such figures as Milton, Dryden, Locke, Swift, and Pope to innumerable, almost-forgotten controversialists and to Grub Street hacks such as Ned Ward and Tom Brown. The arrangement is chronological. A 28-page index consists of authors' names, titles of anonymous works, and the names of persons and the titles of anonymous pamphlets referred to or written against. Covers marked, bookshop stamp on front free endpaper and another on top edge, slight staining to lower edge, corners bumped, otherwise Good. Seller Inventory # ABE-27880
