Description:
1681 State of LONDON & Westminster England Crouch Burton Arms Charles I VennerNathaniel Crouch was an iconic 17th-century English publisher and author. Crouch published his works under a pseudonym, often Richard or Robert Burton, as is the case with this 1681 treatise, "Historical Remarques and Observations of the Present State of London and Westminster". As the title suggests, this book covers the establishment and building of churches and towers, the present state of palaces and cathedrals, accounts of plagues, wars leading up to 1681, and the political climate in London.
This book contains reports of some of the most important events such as the execution of Charles I, Thomas Venner's insurrection, disappearance of Edward V, and many more!
Note that this book contains numerous engravings, none more desirable than the plethora of engraved views of coats-of-arms!

Edinburgh: Printed by John Reid junior, 1702. [8], xxi, [1], 276pp. With six engraved plates. Recent blind-ruled calf, contrasting black morocco lettering-piece. Some chipping to margins of title page and first three leaves of text. The sole edition of Alexander Nisbet's (1657-1725) authoritative essay on the scientific system of heraldry. In 1687, abandoning a career in law, Nisbet embarked on a project to produce the most complete work on armorial bearings to date. Lacking the funds required to bring his magnum opus to press, Nisbet applied to parliament for an allowance. As proof of his capabilities he published, at his own expense, the present work. Parliament duly granted him £248 6s. 8d. per year. The fruits of his labours, System of Heraldry, Speculative and Practical, finally appeared in 1722, earning him an enduring reputation as Scotland's greatest heraldic writer. ESTC T135758.. First edition. 8vo.
