JAMES I, King of England. The Workes. [40] (of [42]), 569, [1] pages, including engraved additional title and full-page woodcut royal arms; lacks the frontispiece portrait. Folio, early 19th-century calf with gilt arms of the antiquary Hudson Gurney (1775-1864) on covers, rebacked; light foxing and soiling on opening leaves, engraved and letterpress title and woodcut arms trimmed slightly and mounted. London: Robert Barker and John Bill, 1616
- Notes: first collected edition, first issue. In addition to reprinting James's Daemonologie, on the reality of witchcraft, "this volume is of great interest to students of the development of the idea of the divine right of Kings and other Stuart constitutional problems... Typographically this is one of the finest specimens of Jacobean book-production"--Pforzheimer 531. STC 14344; Alden 616/59 (for James's A Counterblaste to Tobacco).
