Descripción

54 pages. Printed in double columns. Extracted from the monumental Complete Collection of State Trials , a cornerstone of British legal and political history, this report documents proceedings involving treason, sedition, and other pivotal offences. Originally compiled to serve both as a legal reference and a vehicle of political discourse, the 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, several 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, bound for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable rebinding that favours function over finery. Size: 30 x 48 cms, 12 x 19 inches approx. Quantity Available: 1. Category: State Trials; State Trials::Large Folio; Printed before 1800; New Arrivals; Inventory No: 231937.
