COLLECTION of eleven pamphlets relating to the Trial and Execution of Stephen College, the protestant joiner, who was executed on a charge of high treason, Aug. 31, 1681. 28 pp. in all, folio. Uncut. £33s Stephen College, known as the "protestant joiner," was born about 1635. He worked at the trade of carpentry, and became known as a political speaker, denouncing what he called the superstitious of popery. His ingenuity as a joiner brought him into contact with many persons of rank, who treated him with familiarity, encouraging him so far that he became ambitious of distinction. He was considered a man of more enlarged understanding than is commonly found in mechanics." He made himself notorious by his declamations against the papists and by writing and singing political ballads. The pamphlets included in the above collection comprise: "The Speech and Carriage of Stephen Colledge at Oxford, before the Castle, on Wednesday, August 31, 1681." 8 pp. "A Letter written from Oxford by Mr. Stephen Colledge to his Friends in London." 2 pp. (This is in all probability one of Nathaniel Thompson's "pious frauds," or a jest not intended to mislead anybody). "A Modest Vindication of the Proceedings of the late Grand-Jury at the Old Baily, who returned the Bill against Stephen Colledge, Ignoramus.' 2 pp. (A clever party squib).
