8vo: [iv] + [70] + [i] pp. The body of the text is paginated 75-144, with the six letters numbered seven to twelve. At the end of the volume are an index to the whole work, and a title-page for Maitland's 'Twelve Letters on Fox's Acts and Monument' (Rivingtons, 1841). In original buff wraps, with white printed label on front cover. Text clear and complete, but in poor condition: worn, dogeared and lightly-stained, with loss to margins. As Mailtland explains in an 'advertisement', the first six letters 'were reprinted, soon after their publication, in the form of a pamphlet', but as these six 'exist only in the old numbers of the Magazine', he is reprinting them here, with the second title-page added 'for the convenience of those who may already possess the first sx letters'. Scarce: no copy in the British Library, and the only copy on COPAC at St Andrews. From the E. J. Shepherd archive.
