A scarce edition of the account of Marie Antoinette's trial for high treason in Paris in 1793 one of seven London editions printed in 1793-94. Antoinette faced the Revolutionary Tribunal in October 1793 but most believe the result was predetermined. After a short trial for which Antoinette's lawyers were given less than one day to prepare her defense Antoinette was convicted of depleting the national treasury conspiracy against the state and high treason. Later the same day she was executed by guillotine. All contemporary London printings of Antoinette's trial are rare with ESTC reporting between two and nine copies of the various editions. ESTC locates just eight copies of the present work. ESTC T96761. Printed and Sold at the Logographic Press... unknown books
