Halliwell, J.O. (ed.): Notices of Players Acting at Ludlow
Fane, Mildmay: Otia Sacra (1648), without 17th century typography
The following is linked here due to its falling into the 16th/17th centuries. Its publication does not appear to be a private one, although Baldwin himself was at one time a printer (but not for this publication):
Frogmore Lodge press: A Chronological Abridgement of the History of Spain
