In-8, broché, couverture de parution (dos fendillé, mors fendus, ), viij, 555 p., qqs rousseurs. Édition originale de ce compte rendu intégral du procès, et la source principale sur le complot jacobin dit "de l'opéra" ou "Conspiration des poignards" visant à assassiner Bonaparte en octobre 1800, alors que celui-ci se rendait à l'opéra. Parmi les conspirateurs quatre d'entre eux furent condamnés à mort et exécutés le 30 janvier 1801: Aréna, frère du Barthélemy Aréna qui aurait levé un poignard sur Bonaparte le 19 brumaire, le sculpteur Ceracchi, le peintre Topino-Lebrun, élève de David, proche des "Égaux" et compagnon de route de Babeuf et Dominique Demerville, ancien secrétaire de Barère. Selon des études récentes, l'attentat aurait été à l'origine d'une manipulation policière, rendue possible par le concours du capitaine Jacques Harel, d'abord complice des conspirateurs avant d'être retourné par la police de Fouché.

Moderate toning foxing and faint stains to a few leaves light soiling to exterior internally clean. $400. First edition. A bizarre case involving a suit and counter suit between a justice of the Court of Common Pleas Dorrance and the Governor of Rhode Island Fenner who libeled Dorrance with a charge that he exchanged the body of a suicide left in his care to one Dr. Pardon Bowen for a one beaver hat which Dorrance "had the impudence to wear. while. officiating as moderator of a town meeting." Dorrance and Fenner were obviously political rivals and the trials resulted in two confusing verdicts but the real interest here is the medical background which recounts in great detail the measures taken by local medical doctors and their students to acquire corpses for classroom dissection.

1693D12884Printed by Edward Jones. and Published by him and Randal Taylor 1693. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine. Modern half calf and marbled paper gilt-stamped lettering on spine; 300x187mm; pp. 4 64. Binding is fine. Text block browned as expected; tiny chips at corners of first two leaves. <br/><br/>In December 1692 the young but already dissolute Cornish peer Charles 4th Lord Mohun was involved in a fracas arising from a botched attempt to kidnap the popular actress Anne Bracegirdle. Mohun was acting as accomplice to a young army officer Captain Hill who had taken a fancy to Bracegirdle and decided not to take no for an answer. Their plan to bundle her into a coach was thwarted by the intervention of several of Bracegirdles neighbours but principally by her fellow actor William Mountford. In the ensuing scuffle Mountford was stabbed; he died shortly after. His trial was one of the society events of the year as Mohun had already been part of numerous duels and brawls and tho he was not yet a member of the House his father had been a good Whig and the young Lords future vote was not something that either party were keen to squander. His acquittal proved as sensational as the trial itself had been. One newsletter commented bitterly that a commoner would not have been so fortunate; others debated the intricacies of an attempted appeal that it was thought Mountfords widow intended to lodge but which was expected to be stifled by the Lords. Perhaps most intriguing of all was the conclusion drawn by Queen Mary herself that the verdict was symptomatic of a rot at the very heart of society. Mohun did not learn his lesson. He continued to brawl and only a few years later he was again arrested for another murder of an apparently unrelated Captain Hill. On this occasion he was spared a trial though and took advantage of a royal pardon. Over the next few years he repaid his Whig colleagues trust in him by proving a dependable lieutenant in the House. He may well have been fulfilling precisely the same role when he took the field against the Tory Duke of Hamilton with fatal consequences for both.
