Based on "The relation of His Majestie's entertainment passing through the city of London, to his coronation" by John Ogilby (1661; Wing O181, O181A), but so greatly expanded as to constitute a separate work
"A brief narrative of His Majesties solemn coronation" (2A-2C]4] 2D]2) has separate divisional title page; this whole section is a cancel. Cf. Fredson Bowers, "Ogilby's Coronation Entertainment (1661-1689): Editions and Issues" (Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America, 47 (1953), p. 350)
In this edition, the right serif of the first "V" of "VVestminster" is filed off
An imprint variant of the edition lacking "London" and with "printed for Richard Mariot, and Thomas Dring" in imprint.
- Uncontrolled note
- One folded plate contains two images, each with a legend beginning "Trophea Marii ..."
