Paper leaf lined vertically in red with eight blind stamps reading "shilling" and showing a coat of arms. 1 parchment leaf and one paper leaf. English legal history in detail. This warrant describes the crimes of several named persons including Daniel Halls convicted of felony and burglary against Elizabeth Wilson widow to the sum of twelve shillings and eight pence.<br/><br/>This legal document describes the course of redress for a theft in some detail including a reward of forty pounds for the apprehension of housebreakers divided among Elizabeth Wilson Daniel Wilson and James Button.<br/><br/>The note on the verso records the payment of the reward and includes the signatures of Elizabeth Wilson Daniel Wilson and "the mark of James Button" a shaky X.

Several of the cases are signed by Lord Mansfield. unknown books

Mansfield's scientific orientation is notable in the perspective & approach displayed in this work where he devotes much thought & consideration to motive & powered aerial navigation as then current LTA efforts were subject to the whims of nature as they had been for the most part ever since Montgolfier. This publication along with all of his other works though written in the early 1850s was issued posthumously Mansfield having died prematurely at the young age of 36 from burns suffered during a laboratory accident. The DNB describes this title as "one of the most striking and suggestive works on its subject." MacMillan & Co hardcover books
