Full title: The Examinations, Arraignment & Conviction of George Sprot, Notary in Aye-mouth, Together with his constant and extraordinarie behaviour at his death, in Edenborough, Aug. 12, 1608. Written & set forth by Sir William Hart, Knight, L. Justice of Scotland. Whereby appeareth the treasonable device betwixt John late Earle of Gowry and Robert Logane of Restalrig (commonly called Lesterig) plotted by them for the cruel murthering of our most gracious Sovereigne. Before which Treatise is prefixed also a Preface, written by G. Abbot, Doctour of Divinitie, and Deane of Winchester, who was present at the sayd Sprots execution.
4to. ff. [2] (blank), pp. [2], 60, ff. [3] (blank). Signatures: A-H⁴. Half morocco. Spine raised on 5 bars. Gilded spine title. Gilded edges. Plate of Castlecraig Library. Engraved initial, head- and tail-pieces. Ruled borders on each page.
George Sprot was executed for admitting that certain letters ‘proving’ that Sir Robert Logan had conspired with the Earl of Gowrie to murder James VI in 1600 were in fact forged; Sprot himself was presumably the forger.
A variant of the edition dated 1609. The preface by Abbot takes up the bulk of the book. See ESTC, S118749; STC (2nd ed.), 12894.
