London, printed by the assigns of John Bill, Thomas Newcomb, and Henry Hills, printers to the Kings most excellent Majesty, 1680

Testimony of Francisco de Faria, son of a Belgian Jew, delivered at the bar of the House of Commons in 1680 as part of an investigation into a Catholic plot, known as the 'Popish Plot' (allegations of a Catholic conspiracy to assassinate the King of England that spread in the years 1678-1681). According to the testimony, Francisco de Faria arrived in London to serve as the interpreter of the Portuguese ambassador after being recruited by a group of Catholics (including nuns and a Jesuit monk) whom he met in Antwerp; during his work with the Portuguese ambassador he was given the mission to assassinate two key figures in spreading the plot.

First edition, folio; modern half calf, red morocco label, some additional blanks; pages crisp and clean, small marginal tear to top of some pages not affecting text. iv, 12 pp.
