In-8, marbled calf, ornate smooth spine, gilt fillet on edges. First edition illustrated with a frontispiece, vignette and cul-de-lampe by Eisen, engraved by De Longueil. The origin of this verse work by Dorat is the tragedy of Barnevelt, written in 1619 by John Fletcher and Phillip Masinger, a tragic play of the Elizabethan theater.
