198429251Chicago:: University of Chicago Press 1984. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine dust jacket. Cannibalism and the Common Law is a classic of legal history. It tells the tragic story of the yacht Mignonette which foundered on its way from England to Australia in 1884. The killing and eating of one of the crew Richard Parker led to the leading case in the defence of necessity R. v. Dudley and Stephens. It resulted in their being convicted and sentenced to death a sentence subsequently commuted. In this tour de force Brian Simpson sets the legal proceedings in their broadest historical context providing a detailed account of the events and characters involved and of life at sea in the time of sail. Cannibalism and the Common Law is a demonstration that legal history can be written in human terms and can be compulsive reading. This fascinating book is a marvelous example of eareful historical detection and first-class legal history. University of Chicago Press, unknown

He was born in Westminster Maryland in 1884. As noted in Wikipedia in the 1920s he "traveled to West Africa and came across a tribe who partook in the eating of human meat. Seabrook writes about his experience of cannibalism in his book Jungle Ways; however later on admits the tribe did not allow him to join in on the ritualistic cannibalism. Instead he obtained samples of human flesh from a hospital and cooked it himself." Apparently Seabrook was later criminally charged with cannibalism. In 1919 occultist Aleister Crowley visited Seabrook at his farm. The visit became the basis for Seabrook's story published in Witchcraft: Its Power in the World Today. Upon the 1945 suicide of Seabrook Crowley noted in his diary "The swine-dog W. B. Seabrook has killed himself at last after months of agonized slavery to his final wife.â€Â Harcourt, Brace and Company hardcover books
