005068London: Wilson Printer Broadside printed on silk approximately 240mm x 305mm in size n.d. but probably late 1794 or very early 1795. Light surface soiling a couple of patches of foxing and a few spots of discolouring minor creasing very minor fraying to top and bottom edges possibly as issued linen hinge to left hand side. Celebrating the acquittal of John Horne Tooke who had with Thomas Hardy and John Thelwall been indicted for high treason. The jury only took minutes to acquit him. The broadside names the twelve gentlemen of the jury as well as Tooke's lawyers. The ESTC has a song sheet with the same title and a similar broadside printed by the radical Daniel Isaac Eaton but not this. The printer was Wilson the BBTI gives three possible Wilson's - Andrew Effingham and William. It seems likely that this would have only been produced in small numbers perhaps as a memento for the members of the jury and the principal protagonists For Horne Tooke see Baylen and Gossman 'Biographical Dictionary of Modern Radicals Volume 1: 1770-1830' pages 490-493.

1716WRCLIT62350London: Printed by H. Meere for A. Bettesworth et al 1716. Two volumes. 6330;4320pp. 12mo. Contemporary paneled calf and paneled sheep not uniform. Early ink initials in corner of each title margin spine extremities worn with slight cracking to a couple joints one label wanting; internally slightly tanned but crisp and very good. First and only edition it would appear of this compilation for popular reading as evidenced by the emphasis placed on the accounts of final words and executions and modes for same rather than on legal subtleties.

17207730London: s.n. 1720. 8vo pp. 28. Bound after: Earbery Matthias The Second Part of the Advantages That have Accrued to England by the Succession in the Illustrious House of Hanover. London: Printed in the Year 1721. 8vo pp. 38. And: Religion The Causes Of the Decay of Presbytery in Scotland. In Answer to a Letter from a Clergy-Man of that Perswasion. Edinburgh: Printed in the Year 1713. 3 pamphlets bound together in 20th-century yellow-glazed textured paper boards backed in paler glazed paper spine and front board lettered in ink. Some scattered toning and soiling. Boards a little marked. Folded typewritten fragment of a letter dated 10.3.63 loosely inserted. A scarce pamphlet advocating an armed citizenry against the tyranny of the state in rather florid prose bound with two further anonymous pamphlets with broadly anti-Hanovarian sentiment. The Appeal is recorded in just 5 locations by ESTC: BL NLS and Oxford in the UK and Folger and California in North America. The letter fragment from a previous owner included describes its publication as ‘unquestionably an act of high treason’ adding ‘but I suppose the author was never discovered’. Certainly none of the listed holdings venture an attribution and the printing itself is anonymous with no tell-tale printers’ devices or typographical oddities. Earbery was a non-juring clergyman who was forced to flee to France to avoid arrest when a book of his critical of the monarchy was seized by the government in 1717 and was twice arrested for seditious libel in the decades following; the title of his pamphlet here can be considered ironical. The third pamphlet here is a little earlier and was also published with a London imprint in the same year. ‘This pamphlet was published before the elections of 1713; it tends to confuse more than to clarify matters in Scotland. Written from an Episcopalian point of view but from an English as opposed to a Scottish angle it was a complicated review of the distant and recent political past of Scotland with considerable attention to religious matters’ McLeod & McLeod Anglo-Scottish Tracts 1979.

Sm. folio, 3 leaves, BLACK-LETTER throughout, with fine woodblock arms of William III on front cover and woodblock illuminated capital on first page of text; disbound, uncut, a remarkably crisp, clean copy. 8 Gulielmi III.The death of Queen Mary in 1695 isolated William as an object of Jacobite hatred; the motive for his assassination being the stronger since his death would no longer leave her in occupation of the throne. In February James II moved to Calais and the Jacobite conspirators moved to action. As William drove home to Kensington Palace from his weekly outing in Richmond Park he had to pass along a narrow and muddy lane near Turnham Green. Here he was to be surrounded and murdered. This was the most serious of the several plots against him, but the plotters' security was lax and on 24 February William announced in parliament knowledge both of the plan and of the proposed invasion from France.This act arraigns Sir George Barclay and a number of lesser Jacobites including Johnson alias Harrison, Durant alias Durance, Michael Hare, Major George Holmes, Philip Hanford alias Browne, Richard Richardson, John Maxwell, Bryerly, Plowden and Hungate.Conspirators already languishing in Newgate are named as Counter, [Major ] John Bernardi, Robert Cassells, Robert Meldrum, James Chambers and Robert Blackbourne.

180319534New-York: Printed by George F. Hopkins at Washington's-Head 1803. First edition. Traces of the old calf spine. Somewhat soiled stained and a bit foxed; a very good copy. Removed pamphlet 8.25 x 5 inches 56 pages. The Anglo-Irish soldier-turned-revolutionary Despard had been the colonial administrator of the British Honduras from 1786 until 1790 when he returned to Britain with his African-Caribbean wife Catherine; once home "In pursuit of compensation he grew increasingly irascible while the combination of enforced idleness and grievance against authority led him to both the London Corresponding Society and the overtly revolutionary United Irishmen. . . . He quickly became an intimate of the leading United Irishman and French secret agent William Duckett and in 1797 was reported to be co-ordinator of a proposed rising in London planned to coincide with one in Ireland and a French landing there. In 1798 Despard was pivotal in negotiations between the United Irishmen and a broader conspiratorial group the United Britons to foment simultaneous English and Irish risings to assist a French invasion. When O'Connor and O'Coighley the principal leaders of the conspiracy were apprehended in February while hiring a boat to take them to France habeas corpus was suspended and further arrests followed. Despard's was predictably among them" OUDNB. Despard was eventually released but taken up again on suspicion of plotting a coup in conjunction with the opening of Parliament and executed. This extensive account of Despard's trial does not appear to be taken from Gurney's separately-published London edition; whether there was a separate London edition in addition to the Morning Chronicle account is not entirely clear.

1893350682Reports of State Trials New Series HMSO London 1893. Hardcover. Fine. Interest in the trial reverberated across Ireland and Britain igniting fierce debate in Parliament at public gatherings and throughout the press. At its heart lay a bitter divide: some accused O'Connell of diluting the nationalist cause undermining the momentum for repealing the Union with Britain. Others saw him as a principled strategist navigating perilous ground. This expansive trial account captures the political tensions of the moment unfolding in a courtroom arena well-matched to O'Connell's formidable legal intellect. The trial marked a turning point in Irish nationalism weakening O'Connell's leadership and fracturing the Repeal movement. His commitment to peaceful protest lost credibility paving the way for more militant voices like Young Ireland. Though his conviction was overturned the trial exposed the limits of constitutional agitation under British rule and signaled the decline of moral force politics. 491 pages printed in double columns along with 3 platesand indexes. Bound in black boards with contrasting red label and gilt lettering. Published as volume 5 of the Reports of State Trials New Series 1893 and complete in itself. Size: 15 x 23 cms.

1776359213Printed T. Wright Essex Street Strand; and Sold by G. Kearsley No 46 near Serjeant's Inn Fleet Street London London 1776. Fourth Edition. Unbound Pages. Very Good Condition. A series of major prosecutions targets leading Jesuits and Catholic laymen Whitebread Harcourt Fenwick Langhorn and later Wakeman with three Benedictine monks accused of conspiring to kill the King. These trials form the core of the Popish Plot prosecutions driven by informer testimony and political panic. Their outcomes chart the rise and eventual erosion of belief in the Plot. 67 PAGES printed in double columns. A genuine 1776 printing taken from the authoritative Complete Collection of State Trials. Originally compiled to serve both as a legal reference and a vehicle of political discourse the State Trials series shaped contemporary and subsequent understanding of justice authority and dissent. The generously sized sheets on which these trials are printed offer particular pleasure to the eye and hand bearing clear signs of their handmade origin: chain lines and wire impressions from the mould are readily visible some pages display watermarks and the paper varies subtly in thickness all characteristic of 18th century rag paper. This particular trial report has been preserved in a modern card cover prepared for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable presentation that favours function over finery. Size: 30 x 47 cms.
