"BACON, SIR FRANCIS" "The Historie of the Raigne of King Henry the Seventh. Written by the Right Honorable Francis, Lord Verulam, Viscount St. Alban."
"London: Printed by W. Stansby for Matthew Lownes and William Barrett, 1622." "First edition, with the errata listed on p. 248 entirely uncorrected" STC 1160; Pforzheimer 32. "4to, contemporary full calf double-ruled in blind, rebacked period style by Philip Dusel, red morocco label, gilt lettering. Frontis portrait of Henry VII by John Payne; ornate woodcut border title-page." "
The only historical work by Bacon, and it is surmised that it is the only part of a planned history of England that he lived to complete. Fragmentary and imperfect as it is, it is an esteemed work of biography and yet another plume in the cap of a multi-talented man. A couple of passages referring to Columbus and his contemporary explorers place this work in the category of Americana.
Bookplates on the front paste-down of Bayfield Hall Library (Norfolk); Ross Winans (Baltimore, Maryland, collector, 1796-1877); and well known American book collector, Herschel Jones (1861-1928)." "Covers a little scuffed; marginal soiling and creasing; but overall an elegant copy, with generous margins."

An expression of Barlow’s Republican sentiments in general, his support for Paine, his loathing of Burke and lords, dukes, princes and monarchs.

The engraved frontis portrait of Barlow is often lacking." "Edges rubbed; slight tear in the lower margin of the frontis; foxing, particularly to the prelims; very good copy."
