Index Expurgatorius Anglicanus / Or, a descriptive catalogue of the principal books printed or published in England, which have been suppressed, or burnt by the common hangman, or censured, or for which the authors, printers, or publishers have been prosecuted

A systematic catalogue of English works that were suppressed, prosecuted, or publicly destroyed, offering concise bibliographical descriptions alongside the circumstances of their censorship. Entries note authorship or suspected printers, publication details, and the official actions taken—proclamations, trials, burnings, university condemnations—and often reproduce or summarize contemporary documents and correspondence. Arranged in parts, the compilation situates each case within debates over succession, religious controversy, and sedition, and cites state papers and earlier authorities to map patterns of legal and ecclesiastical suppression across different periods.
