Description

Fuller, Thomas. Ephemeris Parliamentaria; or a Faithfull Register of the Transactions in Parliament, in the Third and Fourth Years of the Reign of Our Late Sovereign Lord King Charles. London: Printed for John Williams and Francis Eglesfield, 1654.

A clergyman and historian, Thomas Fuller (1607/08–1661) compiled Ephemeris Parliamentaria as a record of recent events. In gathering the speeches of both Royalists and Roundheads, he hoped to establish the antecedents of the English Civil War. A seminal work in Parliamentary history, it represents the first printed collection of Parliamentary addresses. This copy includes the armorial bookplate of Sir Frederick Evelyn on the front pastedown.
