Paper wrappers. Condizione: Very Good. LIMITED & BOXED EDITION OF SIX BOOKLETS, each 1 of 666 copies. Original thick cardboard presentation box, illustrated title label lettered in black with reproduction of engraving of Katherine Philips to upper board, stapled at top and bottom edges: with bespoke modification by a PO, adding…a band of beige cloth to left-hand-side to create a clamshell-style box, with a paper title label affixed for the shelving purposes. Six booklets (17.9 x 11.7cm): advertised as pp. 32, but two pp. 36; b/w frontis to vol. I only. Original brown paper wrappers, lettered in red. Edges untrimmed. Box darkened and rubbed, black stamps to bottom and lower edges, edges starting. Each booklet featuring the circular black ownership stamp of 'J. H. F., Hull' to its front wrapper and inscribed in brown ink to each title page: "F. H. Fryer, 10/9/46," single pencil note to first vol. A little creasing and foxing, else, clean, tight and bright. Very good/ good+ A pleasing set of J R Tutin's experiment in reprinting the "best work in the orthography of the original editions, with the minimum of editing [.] of our old seventeenth-century verse-writers" in the original illustrated cardboard presentation box, with neat modifications by a previous owner. It appears the publisher changed his mind over which poets to include mid-production of the booklets, with Anne, Countess of Winchilsea being selected in place of Nicholas Hookes as booklet no. V and Poor Robin's Almanac replacing "Probably a Selection from Thomas Randolph's Poems" as the final volume. J. H. Fryer of Hull was perhaps a relative of the Pocklington-born, Hull-based watchmaker John Henry Fryer (1848-1921).
