Dealer Notes
The first edition of Church of England clergyman and natural historian Robert Sharrock's (1630-1684) work defining the penalties for adultery, polygamy, fornication, rape, sins against nature, and incest. The heraldic achievement stamped to both boards comprises an escutcheon displaying two stars flanking a cross above a peacock in pride, the whole surmounted by a Baronial coronet reminiscent of those found on devices typical of the Ancien Regime. The arms are those of French politician Guillaume Pavee de Vendeuvre (1779-1780), auditor of the Conseil d'Etat under Bonaparte, then maitre des requetes during the Restoration.
