The words "Eik=on basilik=e in line 10 of title are in Greek characters

A reply to the memorandum by Anglesey and to "A true account of the author of a book entituled Eik=on basilik=e" by Anthony Walker (Wing W310)

The Anglesey memorandum, which supports the claim that John Gauden, and not Charles I, was the author of the "Eik=on", was printed on a singleton and added to some copies of the Amsterdam edition of John Milton's "Eikonoklast=es" (Wing M2115)

Includes a bibliography of the editions of "Eik=on basilik=e" published between 1648 and 1685 compiled by Samuel Keble. Cf. Madan, 153

Running title reads: A vindication of King Charles I. &c

Also issued as part of P1595

Leaf C8 is cancelled. It bears a general title page for the 1693 collected edition of Richard Perrinchief's "The life and death of King Charles the First" (3rd ed. 1684), "Eik=on basilik=e" (1685), and Wagstaffe's "Vindication" (1st ed. 1693). Apparently Hindmarsh acquire the unsold copies of the "Royal martyr" and "Eik=on" on the death of Royston and used this general title page, with title "The life and death of King Charles the First" for a reissue of those two works in combination with the second edition of his own "Vindication". Cf. Madan, 67, second issue, and Wing P1595.
