Abstract

The first part, a translation possibly by William Watts or Sir Thomas Roe of "Arma Suecica" by Johann Philipp Abelin, was issued separately earlier the same year as "The devotions and formes of prayer, daily used in the King of Swedens army". This issue contains new preliminaries and the added parts. Alsop and Fawcet printed quires ² F-M (STC). "The famous victorie of Leipsich" (caption title) begins new pagination on 2A1r. The two engraved plates, "The figure of the Battell of Leipsich fought the 7th September 1631" and "The figure of the battell as it was in fighting when Tilley was overthrowing", are frequently missing. The other "plates" are woodcuts. Reproduction of the original in the University of Michigan. Library.
