THE THOMASON TRACTS (2). Catalogue of the Pamphlets, Books, Newspapers, and Manuscripts Relating to the Civil War, the Commonwealth, and Restoration, Collected by George Thomason 1640-1661. I-II. London, printed by order of the Trustees, 1908.
8vo. 258 x 175 mm. XXVI, (1, 1 blank), 895, (1), (2), 767, (1) pp. Only slightly worn publisher´s dark red cloth with gilt spines and gilt top edges. 2 volumes.
First printed edition. The collection was brought together by bookseller George Thomason (died in 1666) and is estimated to represent some 80% percent of everything printed in England during that period. Many of the ephemeral items are only known by Thomason´s copies, and since he used to annotate with publication dates, authorships of anonymous works etc., it makes the collection (now in the British Museum) and the catalogue extremely important and valuable.
Provenance: Sten Ringselle (1949-2017), Swedish antiquarian bookdealer who in 1992 opened his shop Antiquaria in Gothenburg.
