1776359213Printed T. Wright Essex Street Strand; and Sold by G. Kearsley No 46 near Serjeant's Inn Fleet Street London London 1776. Fourth Edition. Unbound Pages. Very Good Condition. A series of major prosecutions targets leading Jesuits and Catholic laymen Whitebread Harcourt Fenwick Langhorn and later Wakeman with three Benedictine monks accused of conspiring to kill the King. These trials form the core of the Popish Plot prosecutions driven by informer testimony and political panic. Their outcomes chart the rise and eventual erosion of belief in the Plot. 67 PAGES printed in double columns. A genuine 1776 printing taken from the authoritative Complete Collection of State Trials. Originally compiled to serve both as a legal reference and a vehicle of political discourse the State Trials series shaped contemporary and subsequent understanding of justice authority and dissent. The generously sized sheets on which these trials are printed offer particular pleasure to the eye and hand bearing clear signs of their handmade origin: chain lines and wire impressions from the mould are readily visible some pages display watermarks and the paper varies subtly in thickness all characteristic of 18th century rag paper. This particular trial report has been preserved in a modern card cover prepared for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable presentation that favours function over finery. Size: 30 x 47 cms.

1794121657LONDON: T.CADELL 1794 LEATHER binding.Full Brown Calf boards with 5 raised bands Paper title labels. 185 x 105 mm approx. Applied head and tail bands. 2 Vols Complete. Collection of 45 sermons by Laurence Sterne Prebendary of York published following the success of a Sermon of Yorick's in Tristram Shandy. The sermons turn chiefly upon Philanthropy and kindred virtues and proceeding more from the heart than the head - per author's preface. Vol I. 300pp Sermons I to XXI Vol II. 312pp Sermons XXII -XLV. VG The work has recently undergone significant restoration by us. It was bought in dis-bound as two vols sewn up as one without the original printers plain boards.There was significant browning and water staining to some signatures. The book was pulled the worst signatures washed and the pages re-sized and the signatures re-sewn on three cords as two vols. The book blocks were then cased in new book boards in full leather as above. The washed signatures are therefor brighter. It woulds perhaps have been desirable to wash all of the signatures but the process is so time consuming it would not have been commercially viable. However the work done has at least given them a new lease of life. Please see our images of the set now offered for sale. T.CADELL hardcover
