First edition in a fine contemporary red morocco binding. A rebuttal of William Prynne's Histrio-Mastix it was published posthumously in 1662, seventeen years after Richard Baker's death in 1645. "It was characterized by much common sense" (ODNB).
The binding is not contemporary. It has suggested it is in the style of Philip Dusel.
