Printed in the Year 1696. No publisher. Alimony arraign’d, or, The remonstrance and humble appeal of Thomas Ivie, Esq. (divisional title page) has separate pagination and register.
Collates complete as per ESTC [4],55,[3],9,[1],24pp with 2 folding maps. Title page is slightly grubby to lower outer corner, some browning throughout at extremities, one leaf closely cropped at head losing page numbers, but textually complete and in very good condition. Recently rebound in half leather with marbled boards and a label to the spine with gilt lettering.
This is a fascinating legal record of the case to do with ‘certain lands’ owned in Wapping, London. The dispute was apparently between the Creditors of Sir Anthony Bateman, and the Heirs of Whichcott and Lady Ivy. The maps show ‘Part of the Wall of Wapping Marsh’ and another more detailed map both with red hand-drawn lines showing the demarcation of the area in dispute.
This is an uncommon book with only 1 edition recorded in ESTC citing only 4 UK locations and 5 in the US. There are no auction records since 1966.
