About This Item
Routledge,, 1906. 8vo., First Edition thus, with a portrait frontispiece in photogravure and a large folding pedigree, neat signature on half-title; original decorative buckram gilt, gilt back, gilt top, covers lightly rubbed and faded, backstrip lightly sunned (but all gilt still entirely legible), a very good, clean copy. Published in Routledge's 'London Library' series. Lucy Hutchinson's memoir of her husband, the regicide John Hutchinson (1615-1664) was first published in 1806 and many times reprinted. The work is most valuable, however, in Firth's classic edition (first issued in 1885). The present edition includes Firth's final revisions.
