1685 Assassination King Charles II 1ed England Rye House Plot 2in1 Thomas Sprat

1685 1^ed Assassination King Charles II England Rye House Plot 2in1 Thomas Sprat

A first-hand account of the plot to assassinate King Charles II!

Thomas Sprat was involved with one of the most controversial conspiracies in 17^th-century Britain. The Rye House Plot was a plan, in 1683, to assassinate King Charles II and his brother James II. This book includes two works, and the two were intended to be published together. According to Lowndes,

“This [work] is always considered a discreditable production, and the author himself completely destroyed all its pretensions to authenticity; for in letters which he wrote after the Revolution, he admits that James II altered the papers in divers passages, and then caused them to be printed.”
