Recent quarter cloth over marbled boards printed paper title label to spine. Some toning to text light soiling to title page. A very nice copy. $750. First edition. A sensational case of a million-pound plot to defraud Continental bankers by forged letters of credit or lettres circulaires purporting to have been issued by the bankers Glyn Hallifax Mills & Co. The plot was exposed by a Times of London correspondent in a letter published on 26th May 1840. This case was important because it exposed the largely unregulated banking practices associated with letters of credit which were easy to forge and difficult to police. The naming of Allan George Bogle-who was almost certainly involved-triggered this libel action against John Joseph Lawson the printer and publisher of the Times and resulted in the award of one farthing damages for Bogle but enormous expense and the considerable gratitude of bankers and investors for the Times. The present report is probably the most detailed account of a major financial swindle of this period particularly one involving letters of credit. A second edition was published the same year as the first the third and final edition in 1842. All three are rare.

A later reference to 'the Countess' makes it clear that this is Frances Villiers Countess of Jersey. The last stanza reads: 'There from empty pomp retreating Childless mother widow'd wife!

81778 January 1844; Edge hill. 12mo 3 pp. Bifolium. Good on lightly-aged and creased paper. Wood begins by recalling 'the savage bigotry and infuriate hostility of the Manchestr. Tories at the time you mention towards the liberals'. He does not think an attempt was made to put the Oath of Allegiance to those on the recipient's list. 'The lives of 6-8 men of high Character and standing in the Town were placed in jeopardy by the perjury of two Villains and they were tried at Lancaster for either Treason or Sedition. I think for the former. One of the Wretches ran away and did not appear at the Trial I was present the other named Dunn on giving his testimony in Court was convicted of Perjury and ordered into custody immedy. by the Judge & afterwards imprisoned for 2 years.' Those accused by Dunn were 'triumphantly acquitted'. Wood names the 'Revd: Jno. Griffiths a Fellow of the Old Church' as 'a leading instigator of the proceedings' against them. Wood concludes by offering 'any information' he can give 'relating to the diabolical transactions of that Period'. In his article 'Luddism and politics in northern counties' 1979 John Dinwiddy describes Wood as a 'wealthy Unitarian' and 'a member of a 'group of middle-class reformers'. The background of the trial is given in Walker's entry in the Oxford DNB: 'On 11 December 1792 . Walker's house on South Parade and the offices of the Manchester Herald were besieged by a "church and king" mob. . Manchester authorities and loyalists had bribed an Irish weaver and local radical named Thomas Dunn to give false evidence against Walker and despite failing to indict him of high treason he and nine other Manchester reformers were charged with conspiring to overthrow the king constitution and government. Walker who employed the defence of Thomas Erskine and Felix Vaughan was tried at Lancaster assizes on 2 April 1794 but he was acquitted largely on account of Dunn's perjury.' 8 January 1844; Edge hill. unknown
