Book of Common Prayer, black letter, single column, title within woodcut border (margins torn and repaired), lacks several ff. but a comparison of catchword suggests this vol. is substantially complete, random signatures not conforming to listings on ESTC, 2ff. torn and repaired with loss, some staining, browned, margins trimmed, 18th century ink inscriptions on front pastedown partially rubbed out, bound with an incomplete Sternhold & Hopkins "The Whole Book of Psalmes", 1662, lacks free endpapers, 19th century panelled calf, extensively rubbed, sm. 4to, n.p., n.d., title dated 1666, but with an order to print at end signed by Edw. Nicholas, dated "the second day of May, in the fourteenth year of Our Reign" [i.e. 1663]; sold not subject to return. ⁂ Title is unrecorded and a probable piracy, two books of Common Prayer recorded in ESTC dated 1666, 1 Ireland, and the other Cambridge, and neither conforming to this volume with its meaningless signatures. ESTC records other haphazard volumes, perhaps for an Irish market with a scarcity of available books of Common Prayer after the Restoration. Indeed, credence is added to this argument when one considers the content relating to the Church of Ireland in the present volume.
