PHILIP IV OF SPAIN: A proclamation for Reformation published and commanded (to be overserved as a Law) - London: 1623. 4to. pp. [v], 86. Modern half red morocco. Paper repair to armorial frontispiece, titlepage and another leaf. A very good copy. STC 22992.9. Amongst the reformations in manners and morals sought by the King were an excess of servants; that no kind of thing be imnbroidered; that neither Gold nor Silver be worne in stuffe of silke or trimming; of the moderation of the dowry, jewels and apparrell; for the abolishing of publike stewes etc etc. The publication of this English translation, presumably designed to portray the Spanish King in a good light, coincides with the final attempt of James I to arrange a controversial marriage between his son the future Charles I and Princess Maria of Spain. The Prince of Wales went to Madrid to urge his suit in the Spring of 1623 but religious difficulties could not be surmounted. One of the "ifs" of history relates to the question of whether Maria of Spain would have made a better wife than than his subsequent choice Henrietta Maria of France. Spanish Royal Coat of Arms as frontispiece. Provenance: The estate of Tony Sweeney
