London By J. C. for T. Garthwait, at the Little North-door of St. Pauls, 1659 Or The Voice of PeaceTo An Unquiet Conscience. Written By Way of Letter To A Person of Quality. And Published for the Comfort of all those, who Mourn in Zion. Engraved frontispiece on the verso of the half-title. Title printed in black and red. First Edition. Small 8vo. [4]ff, 116, [4] pp. Bound in contemporary sheepskin, the spine lettered on a later red goatskin label, printed endleaves (rubbed and with a few wormholes and abrasions). Wing M.850 (LT, O, CSE, BR, P; CH, CLC, CN, WF). With a final leaf of advertisements for books printed and sold by T. Garthwait. The printer made an error in the setting of signature E (pp.49-64), which was not picked up when the sheets was folded, cut and bound. Consequently the headline and first line of p. 51 appears at the head of p.54, and p.62 starts at the head of p.59. There is also loss of part of the last line of pp.54 and 59. The endleaves are waste from a law book printed in black letter in French. Eighteenth (?) century ink inscription on the front endleaf: "Wilney[?] Congregational Library no.107". Bookplate of J. Barry Brown.
