Comments & Item Features
Fourth Edition. Category: State Trials, State Trials::Large Folio. Language: English.
Fitzharris, entangled in the final phase of the Popish Plot, is brought before the Kings Bench on a treason indictment involving seditious libels. His case becomes a constitutional flashpoint as Parliament and the courts dispute jurisdiction. The proceedings reveal the political manoeuvring that marked the Plots collapse.
36 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.
