18402307812London: Ball Arnold & Co 1840. Small Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. New edition revised seventh edition and fourth edition respectively. Both volumes feature idyllic fore-edge paintings: the first of a woman and a boy holding hands as they walk a road with large trees on either side in the foreground and copses of trees in the distance; the second depicts two figures rowing a canoe down a stream with a village in the distance. Each appears to be by the same artist. Corners a bit rubbed with evidence of minor restoration to spine head and foot ink name on front endpaper of each volume. 1840 Small Hard Cover. xi 171; 208 12 pp. 12mo. Volumes one and two of what was ultimately a six-volume set of Montgomery's collected poems. The presence of fore-edge paintings on these volumes is somewhat unusual as traditionally this was done on leather-bound volumes often quite a bit larger than these and the practice in general was considerably more common in the 18th century and earlier. That being said these are ably done so it is clear that they are not the work of an amateur and it is possible someone commissioned a contemporary artist to do the entire set and these are the volumes that remain. His poetry while it sold well during his lifetime is remembered best as the victim of excoriating reviews by John Wilson in Blackwood's and Thomas Babington Macaulay in the Edinburgh Review.

Disbound loosening rubberstamp on title page. Else a clean and Good text.<br/><br/> The publisher's Note says the case "is one of the most important of the recent adjudications on the subjects of insanity as a defense in criminal cases and the use of the testimony of experts." The pamphlet reproduces the official report published in the State law volumes. Montgomery was convicted of murdering his wife at Rochester New York in 1870. His defense was insanity. "He was a young man of twenty-two years of age; he had been married two years; his wife was a woman of bad character. She had left him a short time before he killed her and had gone to live in a house of ill-fame. She had a child nine months old; the child he kept and took care of himself during the nights; it was taken care of at his father's during the day." <br/> Montgomery got worn out from all the stress; he had several epileptic fits. "He had a disease of the brain also" all of which brought on "dementia which had the effect of enfeebling the mind." He had experts on his side: three physicians testified that "he was insane at the time the crime was committed." They were rebutted by the prosecution's physicians. After closely examining the evidence and the relevant law the Court upholds Montgomery's conviction and rejects his insanity defense.<br/>OCLC 41599720 5. Not in McDade Marke or Harv. Law Cat.
