Printers names from Madan; place of publication from Wing; year of publication in imprint according to Lady Day dating

Authorship of the Eikon basilike was originally attributed to Charles I, but according to Madan (pp. 125-33) it was written by John Gauden who probably included some authentic writings of the king

Title page differs from that of Madan no. 11 by having broken rules below title, between epigraphs, and above imprint; "solitudes" and sufferings" are printed with swash "u"s; chapter 1 heading begins with "Upon" rather than "Vpon", the "U" being swash; p. 64 includes the typo: "oppressive faces" for "oppressive fears"; G2r has catchword  "Militia,"

Frontispiece is woodcut of the King's execution with caption below: "The martyrdom of King Charles ye first"; not listed in Madan
