Charnock and the jacobite assassination plot (1 resultados)

Condición: Very Good. Robert Charnock, Edward King, and Thomas Keyes were tried for conspiring to assassinate King William III in a Jacobite plot. Their conviction marked a turning point in the government's crackdown on covert royalist resistance following the Glorious Revolution. 45 pages, printed in double columns. Printed between 1809 and 1826, these historic documents are vivid extracts from Cobbett's State Trials, pages from the courtroom record that preserve the voices, arguments, and verdicts which helped shape the course of British justice and still echo through its constitutional legacy. Over two centuries old, each leaf is a tangible fragment of legal history, compelling, original, and rarely encountered outside institutional collections. These are not reprints or replicas, but authentic 19th-century printings, rich in drama and steeped in history. This particular trial report has been removed from a volume of Cobbett's State Trials and is now preserved in a modern card cover for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable presentation that favours function over finery.
