Containing also, the life and death of James Duke of Monmouth; his birth and education; his actions both at home and abroad; his unfortunate sentence, execution and dying-words upon the scaffold: with a true copy of the paper he left behind him. And many other curious remarks worth the reader's observation. Tutchin, John, 1661?-1707. 1688 (1688) Wing T3382AA; ESTC R220942 22,249 20
