This commemorative book meticulously documents the elaborate coronation ceremony of King James II of England, who reigned from 1685 until his deposition in the Glorious Revolution of 1688. The text serves as both a detailed account of the event and a rich source of information on the ceremonial practices, regalia, and pageantry associated with the English monarchy during the late 17th century.
Francis Sandford, an esteemed herald and genealogist, was well-positioned to provide an authoritative narrative of the coronation. His expertise is evident in the book's comprehensive descriptions and the inclusion of intricate illustrations that capture the grandeur of the occasion. The work is notable for its attention to detail, offering insights into the various stages of the coronation, from the procession to the anointing and crowning of the king. It also delves into the roles and responsibilities of the various participants, including nobility, clergy, and other dignitaries, thereby providing a vivid portrayal of the social hierarchy and customs of the time.
The Coronation of King James II 1633-1701 is not merely a historical record but also a piece of art in its own right.

This work holds considerable value for historians, scholars, and enthusiasts of British history, offering a window into the ceremonial traditions of the English monarchy and the political climate of the late 17th century.
