This book from Jefferson’s library with the above title is a fragment of
Lord Hollis his remains
and contains the
General Preface and the first tract [
A Second letter to a friend, concerning the judicature of the Bishops in Parliament], preceded by the title leaf as above to the second tract, the text of which is not present in the book.
The volume therefore does not contain a book, but has the first part only of
Lord Hollis his remains without a title-page, and with the separate title of the second part of the book substituted. The complete book is in three
parts [see no. 2881], which were not issued separately.
Jefferson’s catalogue entry has been followed by all the Library of Congress catalogues, which makes it safe to assume that this was his copy. The book
was bound in half red morocco by the Library of Congress, the original sprinkled edges and red silk bookmark preserved, but
with no marks of provenance.

Prynne was Keeper of the Records.
