Aggiungi al carrelloUnbound Pages. Condizione: Very Good. Fourth Edition. Three Catholic defendants Ireland, Pickering, and Grove are tried for allegedly conspiring to assassinate Charles II, based entirely on the testimony of Titus Oates and his fellow informers. As some of the earliest Popish Plot prosecutions, the trials reveal the explosive atm…osphere of late 1678, when fear and credulity outweighed evidence and due process. 18 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. Category: State Trials; Printed before 1800; State Trials::Large Folio. This item may require more postage than the rates shown for delivery outside the UK.
