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. Category: State Trials; Printed before 1800; State Trials::Large Folio. This item may require more postage than the rates shown for delivery outside the UK.
