[Thomas] D'Urfey - A Common-Wealth of Women. A Play: As it is Acted at the Theatre Royal, By their Majesties Servants - R. Bentley & J. Hindmarsh, 1686, First Edition.

London, R. Bentley & J. Hindmarsh, 1686. First Edition. Paperback. A very good copy. Bound in plain wrappers. Seemingly scarce. Several copies on COPAC, but the only copy we can find in commerce is from a 1948 Maggs catalogue. Seems to be an adaptation of John Fletcher's Sea Voyage. Title page followed by four pages of dedication, then a leaf containing the dramatis personae on the recto, and a prologue on the verso. The play itself is 54pp. No other leaves. Condition is pretty good, a few stains to the first leaves, a little old foxing, and some rubbing (leaves have probably been trimmed at some point as there's hardly any chipping). [8932, Hyraxia Books].
