Oates titus d d (2 risultati)

Unbound Pages. Condizione: Very Good. Fourth Edition. Oates, the chief architect of the Popish Plot allegations, faces a writ of inquiry after James, Duke of York, sues him under the statute de scandalis magnatum for defamatory accusations. The proceedings mark the collapse of Oatess credibility and the Crowns effort to redress the reputational damage caused by his fabrications. 5 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.
