An absolutely superb and finely preserved desirable second corrected and expanded edition of Daniel Neal's seminal history of Puritanism and the Puritans themselves, from the late 16th century through the persecutions and emigrations to American in the early 17th century, the Solemn League and Covenant of the 1630's, and the Westminster Assembly and Civil War under Cromwell of the 1640's, etc., 

They just don't come much finer than this. Very handsomely presented, in two imposing 4to half calf bindings, wide margins, and exceptionally clean and crisp. Aside from some very minor rubbing and a slight fade line to cloth on boards, a near fine set. To my recollection, the best we have handled. 

Neal, Daniel.
