1776718821776. in a superb Dusel binding. in a superb Dusel binding. A Colorful Duchess Trial. Kingston Elizabeth Chudleigh Hervey Duchess of 1720-1788 Defendant. The Trial of Elizabeth Duchess Dowager of Kingston for Bigamy Before the Right Honourable the House of Peers In Westminster-Hall In Full-Parliament On Monday the 15th Tuesday the 16th Friday the 19th Saturday the 20th and Monday the 22d of April 1776; On the Last of Which Days the Said Elizabeth Duchess Dowager of Kingston was Found Guilty.

Moderate toning light soiling and dampspotting to margins of a few leaves faint dampstaining to heads of preliminaries. $1500. Only edition. The colorful duchess is said to have been the basis for William Thackeray's character of Beatrice in Esmond and of the Baroness Bernstein in The Virginians and was also ridiculed in a play that she tried to legally suppress The Capuchin. Prone to romantic entanglements and scandals she had many lovers and it is said that George II was one of many to be swayed by her charms. When she determined to marry the Duke of Kingston Elizabeth feared the scandal of divorce from her first husband Augustus Hervey later Earl of Bristol who wanted a divorce so she instituted a suit of jactitation against him. His negative response ignored she took an oath that she was unmarried and the court so declared her. She married the Duke of Kingston in 1769 and he died in 1770 and left her a substantial estate on the condition that she remain a widow. The duke's nephew Mr. Evelyn Meadow brought suit against her for bigamy shortly after the duke's death while she was traveling in Italy. She returned to England to stand trial. Found guilty she would have been "burned on the hand" but she claimed the privilege of her peerage which served to exempt her from corporal punishment. She continued a life of travel and adventure until her sudden death in Paris in 1788. Dictionary of National Biography IX:730. Sowerby Catalogue of the Library of Thomas Jefferson 1957.

1736684421736. Newcastle upon Tyne 1736. Newcastle upon Tyne 1736. Early Account of a Famous Scottish Murder Trial This Copy Includes Two Pages of Contemporary Manuscript Notes Trial. Porteous John 1695-1736 Defendant. The Trial of Capt. John Porteous Before the High Criminal Court Or Lords of Justiciary In Scotland; For Wounding and Killing Several Persons at a Late Execution of a Criminal In the Grass-Market at Edinburgh By Firing and Ordering his Men to Fire on the Spectators. Newcastle upon Tyne: Printed by John White 1736. 32 pp. Octavo 8-1/8" x 5-7/8". Stab-stitched pamphlet and two manuscript leaves in contemporary hand bound into later library cloth calf lettering piece and paper shelf label to spine. Light soiling some fading to spine chipping to edges of lettering piece. Light browning to text some soiling library inkstamps and early owner signature David Hilton to title page library marks to verso. $1500. This appears to be a reissue of an account published the same year in Edinburgh. Porteous was convicted of murder and sentenced to be hanged after soldiers under his command accidentally killed six people while trying to control a mob during an execution. Under pressure from Prime Minister Walpole his execution was deferred pending further investigation. Angered at what was perceived as English interference a mob dragged Porteous from prison and lynched him. More than a murder case this was a highly charged referendum on Scottish autonomy. The events surrounding this case are treated in the early chapters of Sir Walter Scott's novel The Heart of Mid-Lothian 1818. The carefully written manuscript notes appear to have been laid into this pamphlet. It discusses a 1734 Act of Parliament calling for the punishment of the people who lynched Porteous.

Le procès de la conjuration des Égaux par la Haute Cour de Justice de Vendôme constitue une des sources les plus importantes pour comprendre Babeuf et ses théories égalitaires, pour comprendre en quoi cette conjuration représente la première tentative pour transformer en une force pratique l'idée d'un nouvel ordre du monde, pour comprendre comment et pourquoi, pour la première fois, l'idéal communiste souhaita phagocyter une république chancelante. Né à Saint-Quentin d'un père fermier du Roi en 1760, François Noël Babeuf s'engagea dans la Révolution dès la convocation des États-Généraux en revendiquant la communauté des biens et des travaux. Pour lui, le but de la Révolution était d'instaurer l'Égalité. C'est cette théorie qu'il développa dans ses journaux le Courrier picard ou le Tribun du peuple, ou bien encore dans ses livres comme le Cadastre perpétuel. Déçu par Thermidor puis par le Directoire, il rassembla des rosbespierristes, des hébertistes et des démocrates révolutionnaires, afin de renverser le régime pour instaurer la constitution de 1793 et l'Égalité. Grâce aux informations d'un indicateur, Babeuf et ses complices sont arrêtés le 21 floréal an IV [1796] et une haute cour est constituée pour les juger le 20 février 1797. Le procès se déroule du 20 février au 26 mai 1797, en présence de deux ministres. Sur les 65 accusés, seuls Babeuf et l'un de ses complices Darthé sont condamnés à mort. Plusieurs autres sont condamnés à la déportation, et une majorité est acquittée. Bel ensemble en 4 volumes bien conservés, quelques charnières légèrement frottées. Couverture rigide
