Bauman, Richard A.
CRIME AND PUNISHMENT IN ANCIENT ROME
240 pages; Crime and punishment have concerned humanity since the beginning of social life. Their manifestations in ancient Rome remains a fascinating topic, as the law of most European countries today is derived from ancient Roman law. Richard A. Bauman tells the history of punishment from the Roman Republic to the late Empire, shedding light on some decisive aspects of Roman history. He assesses punishment according to its innate humanity and cruelty, traces the changes in Roman attitudes, laws and practices during this era. Trials for treason, sedition and corruption illuminate political history; common law crimes like murder, and forgery that sharpen our perception of social history; discussions of freedom of speech increase our understanding of intellectual history; and religious persecutions fill out the picture of religious history. In its scope and focus, this is an unprecedented study, painting a vivid picture of the theory and practice of punishment in ancient Rome.

Dundas, Henry, First Viscount Melville - Defendant.
THE TRIAL, BY IMPEACHMENT, OF HENRY LORD VISCOUNT MELVILLE, FOR HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS,Before the House of Peers, in Westminster Hall, between the 29th of April and the 17th of May, 1806. To which is prefixed A Sketch of the Life and Political Chara
pp. iv, xcv, 378, [xvi] + Frontis Portrait. Uncut. Original paper backed boards; spine almost perished, but most of the original printed paper label remains. 8vo. 230 mm. A great contemporary account of the last English impeachment trial conducted in the House of Lords. The accused was Henry Dundas, Lord Melville, considered to be the foremost Scotsman of the Eighteenth Century. The report of a Parliamentary Commission gave rise to considerable suspicions against him, as it was conclusively shown that large sums of public money during his tenure of office as Treasurer of the Navy (1782-1783 and 1784-1800) had been applied to other uses than those of the navy. It is interesting to note that Dundas could have avoided these proceedings, had he submitted to criminal charges, but he chose to face impeachment, anticipating that his chances were better before his fellow Lords. After a trial lasting fifteen days he was acquitted on all charges by his peers. Marke 1016; Goldsmiths' 19262-63. Includes an informative DNB article on Lord Melville. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W151

Blackmore, R. D.
LORNA DOONE, A Romance of Exmoor.
Two volumes. pp. 516; 565 + Fifty-one wonderful photogravure plates from the photographs of Dr. Charles L. Mitchell and Francis Frith. Original full red cloth binding., brilliantly decorated in gold. Set against the turbulent historical backdrop of the 1680s, in England's lawless West Country, Lorna Doone is an action-packed tale of romance, revenge and family warfare. Blackmore's sweeping story of love and crime is one of fiction's most respected works. Three young people are caught in a taut emotional triangle - Carver Doone, murderous member of a feared family of aristocratic outlaws; John Ridd, a young farmer dedicated to avenging his father's death; and Lorna Doone, the dark-eyed beauty for whom both men would willingly die. At once independent and vulnerable, Lorna is the Doone "Princess", condemned by the family to marry Carver. But Lorna may not be quite what she seems. Richard Doddridge Blackmore (1825-1900) was born in Longworth, Berkshire, where his father John Blackmore was Curate-in-charge of the parish. Only a few months after his birth his mother died of typhus, his father moved back to his native West Country and young Richard was taken in charge by his aunt. In 1831 John Blackmore married again and Richard went to live with his father and stepmother in Devon. Richard went to school in Tiverton where he excelled in classical studies and later won a scholarship t o Oxford, where he took his degree in 1847. He made his first attempt at writing a novel during a university vacation. After leaving Oxford he entered the law, being called to the Bar in 1852. Ill-health, however, forced him to give up legal work as a full-time occupation and in 1853 he took the post of classics master at Wellesley House Grammar School, Hampton Road, Twickenham. Soon after accepti ng this post, Blackmore moved from London to Hampton Wick, where he lived until he moved to his new home in Teddington. In 1853 he married, and in 1854 published anonymously two volumes of poetry. In September 1857 his uncle died leaving his nephew a sum of money which enabled him to realise a long-held ambition - that of possessing a house in the country with a larger garden. Blackmore selected a plot of land at Teddington and built his new house (completed in 1860). He was to live there for the rest of his life. Gomer House, named after one of his favourite dogs, had extensive grounds. Within them Blackmore developed an 11 acre market garden, specialising in the cultivation of fruit. The grounds were surrounded by high walls. Although an expert in horticulture, he lacked the necessary bu siness sense and his market garden was not a very profitable enterprise. In the late 1860's Blackmore fought the coming of the railway to Teddington, winning claims against his property by the London and South West Railway Company, but being unable to prevent the erection of a station almost directly opposite his house. Some local residents in Teddington apparently regarded Blackmore as unsociable, if not misanthropic. Charles Deayton, a Teddington merchant is recorded as saying to a visitor: "He is not a social man, and seems wedded to his garden in the summer and his book writing in the wint er. That is all I know of him; except that he keeps the most vicious dogs to protect his fruit, and I would advise you to avoid the risk of visiting him." In fact, though of a retiring disposition, Blackmore did have a number of intimate friends whom he met regularly and many friendships with Americans as a result of his wide following in the United States. Blackmore died at Teddington in 1900 after a long and painful illness. He was buried at Teddington Cemetery. His wife had died in 1888. He had no children. **PRICE JUST REDUCED!

Ross, Christian K.
THE FATHER'S STORY OF CHARLEY ROSS, THE KIDNAPPED CHILD. From the Home Of His Parents In Germantown.
431 p. Illustrations. 8vo. Very worn publisher's cloth binding. On July 1, 1874 two little boys were abducted in front of their family's mansion. It was the first kidnapping for ransom in the history of th e United States. And it would be the major event of its kind until the Lindbergh baby kidnapping. The boys were named Charley and Walter Ross; they were 4 and 6 years old. The two men who kidnapped th em had given the boys candy on previous occasions. That day, however, the men told the boys to climb into their buggy and promised to buy them firecrackers. The boys boarded and they drove off into th e city. Charley would never be seen again. As they drove farther away, Charley wanted to go home and began to cry. The men stopped in front of a store and gave Walter 25 cents. He entered the store and started choosing firecrackers, while the men drove away with Charley. The boys' father, Christian K. Ross, thought the boys were playing in a neighbor's yard. But soon a neighbor told him that she saw the boys traveling in a buggy. The father began the search for his son that he would continue until his death. He didn't tell his wife at first, who was recovering from an illness in Atlantic City. Two days later, however, she found out when he began advertising in the newspapers for his sons' return. A stranger found Walter and returned him to his father. Walter related the tale. Two days after that, the father received a crude note, saying that Charley would be released for a sum of money. On July 7, came another note demanding $20,000 and instructing the boy's father how to go about paying the kidnappers. The father tried to follow the instructions as best he could but never contacted the kidnappers. Later that year, police were investigating the kidnapping of a Vanderbilt child and found a ransom note in that case that matched closely the one for Charley Ross. They identified the handwriting as fugitive convict William Mosher's. Mosher was killed during a burglary in Brooklyn, but his partner Joseph Douglas identified Mosher as the kidnapper of Charley Ross. Douglas died insisting that only Mosher had known where Charley was being held. Douglas also said that Charley would be returned safely in a few days. He never was, and the father spent $60,000 in his futile search. Imposters came forward in the years afterward claiming to be the missing boy. Each was disproved. Charley's father died in 1897, his mother in 1912. Walter Ross died in 1943. The Ross mansion was torn down in 1926. The Cliveden Presbyterian Church now stands on the site of the kidnapping. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! PA 28
