Premeditated) Murther.

With his Miraculous Discoveries, and Severe

Punishment Thereof. In Thirty Several Tragical

Histories (Digested in six Books) committed in divers

Countreys beyond the Seas, Never Published or

Imprinted in any other Language. Histories which

which in these our days makes so ample, and large a

Progression. With a Table of all the seveal Letters

millimeters) and a minimum of text loss, not affecting the meaning. Besides these minor flaws, a lovely,

tight, clean copy. Near fine-. DKK 7500 * Fascinating and magnificent book on murder: The author alledgedly aimed to prevent further murders

from happening, but it didn't stop him from revelling in some rather bloodthirsty descriptions of previous

murders. The thirty stories are each started with a resume of the story as well as a half page woodcut

illustration, telling the gruesome story in the shape of a comic strip. The woodcuts vividly presents the

stabbing, poisoning, strangling - and the guilty parties being hanged, decapitated or burned at the stakes,

Always fascinating!

** On page 46 (after History IV "Alsemero and Beatrice-Joana") is noted in old hand: "From this History

was composed a very good Tragedy by Thos. Middleton, printed in 1653 and again in 1660 - but in the play,

Alsemero is represented a most amiable character". Interesting
