Both 48pp., 4to (Part II paginated 49-96). Both in printed blue wraps, with front cover carrying the ownership inscription of R. R. Lloyd. Both with stamps of the St. Albans' Architectural & Archaeological Society, and small taped label to wraps. Both in good condition, on lightly-aged paper, in chipped and worn wraps. Part I reprints seven items from 1641 to 1645 (the first: 'Diurnall Occurrences from 27. December to the 3. of January 1641. Attack upon Westminster Abbey by the London Apprentices, and the committing of Twelve Bishops to the Tower of London.'); and Part II reprints six items from 1647 to 1650 (the last: 'The Battle of Dunbar: Defeat of the Royalists; Dispatches from Oliver Cromwell, 1650'). Scarce: the only complete set of the two parts on COPAC at Oxford (Sheffield has a copy of Part I, and the Guildhall Library a copy of Part II).
