Paperback. Condición: New. This is the extraordinary life story of Robert Shirley, the thirteenth Earl Ferrers, tracing his aristocratic upbringing in the 1930s through his wartime childhood, national service in the jungle of Malaya, Cambridge in the 1950s and finally his life a government minister in every Conservative Governme…nt from Macmillan to Major. More importantly, he has some hilariously off-the-wall tales to tell. Often including hiding fish in the Chief Whip's briefcase. Earl Ferrers writes amusingly and movingly about his twelve predecessors, one of whom was hanged after he shot his manservant. His at times hilarious accounts of his careers in farming, business and politics have the reader crying tears of both joy and sadness as he relates the bizarre events in his political life, and some of his family tragedies. When his fellow members of the House of Lords voted which 92 hereditary peers to keep, Earl Ferrers topped the vote. Reading this book, it is easy to see why. Always enjoying a sense of the ridiculous, and with the ability to write with humour and charm, he is without question the most popular member of the current House of Lords. This book shows why. It contains dozens of reminiscences from a life well led. It's seeringly honest, painfully blunt, but at all times retains the author's supreme sense of charm and elegance.

Añadir al carritoUnbound Pages. Condición: Very Good. Fourth Edition. Ferrers, notorious for violent and erratic behaviour, is tried by his peers for shooting his steward, John Johnson. The proceedings, conducted in full Parliament, end in a rare aristocratic conviction for murder. His execution became a defining example of the laws reach over e…ven the highest ranks. 18 PAGES, printed in double columns. A genuine 1778 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. If extra postage is required we will contact you before processing your order and you will be given the details and option to decline the extra cost.

Añadir al carritoThe Last Peer Hanged as a Common Criminal [Execution]. Ferrers, Lawrence (Laurence) Shirley, Earl [1720-1760]. An Account of the Execution of the Late Laurence Earl Ferrers, Viscount Tamworth, And of His Lordship's Behaviour, From the Time of His Being Delivered into the Custody of the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex, Until the… Time of His Execution. By the Authority of the Sheriffs. London: Sold by M. Cooper in Pater-noster Row, 1760. 11, [1] pp. Folio (12-3/4" x 8"; 32.6 x 20.3 cm). Stab-stitched pamphlet in self-wrappers, thread perished, edges untrimmed. Light toning, light soiling to exterior, horizontal fold line, some faint creasing to spine and final leaf. A very good copy in its original state. $250. * Only edition, one of two issues from the same year (the other published in Dublin by Faulkner). Lord Ferrers was apparently a pleasant man, if arrogant, when sober, but prone to violent rages and brutality while drunk. After six years of abuse, his wife left him and returned to her family. She applied to Parliament for, and received, an order for maintenance. This came from a separate trust administered by Ferrers's steward, John Johnson. The Earl eventually convinced himself that Johnson was plotting against him, stealing his money and having an affair with his estranged wife. During a meeting he ordered Johnson to kneel and to beg pardon. Ferrers shot Johnson when he complied with this order. As established at trial, Ferrers had been sober when he shot Johnson, but quickly took to the bottle and assaulted the wounded man again. Johnson eventually died. Ferrers employed an insanity defense but was unsuccessful. He was sentenced to be hanged and anatomized, the last peer to be executed in this manner. OCLC locates 7 copies of this issue in North America. English Short-Title Catalogue T18836.
