The Meaning of Treason.

Treason. Despard Edward Marcus defendant.ABAA

The Trial of Colonel Despard and his Associates for High Treason and a Conspiracy &c. &c. . . . to which is added an Account of their Execution. Published from the London Morning Chronicle.

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.

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.
