Folger-specific note
From dealer's description: "Constable Family. A very important collection of 17th Century pieces comprising 84 [sic; actually 82] items consisting of 8 manuscripts, the remaining pieces being either broadsides or tracts. Various places. 1653-1696. Folio and 4to., items 17 – 84 [sic; actually 82] stitched into original stripped boards, rear board detached, with some wear, the remaining 16 items loosely inserted. The front end paper carries an early coat of arms watermark consistent with late 17th/early 18th Century paper. A very important collection of documents, both printed and manuscript, representing a view of some of the most relevant events in both English and Scottish affairs in the period between the Commonwealth and the Glorious Revolution, with special unbiased interest in Catholic concerns. Two of the manuscript items are either addressed directly or clearly intended for a member of the Constable family of Everingham, Yorkshire, who were a well-known, but low profile members of the Catholic aristocracy: a very strong clue, perhaps, to the origin of this collection."
