First editions of Crowne’s adaptations of the first two parts, second issue of the second part with cancel title page. Crowne adds, alters and shuffles Shakespeare’s scenes, divides various speeches, removes a number of characters, and focusses the play into a comment on the politics of the ongoing Exclusion Crisis. The second part was first published in 1680 under its sub-title The Misery of Civil War.
