‎Justice Delayed : How Britain Became a Refuge for Nazi War Criminals‎

‎Phoenix UK 2001. First Paperback Edition. Trade Paperback. Near Fine. 342 pages. Covers have no creasing. Corners of covers are lightly bumped. Spine is uncreased. Pages are clean and unmarked and in excellent condition. Cesarani describes how the immigration policy of Clement Attlee's post-war government actually favoured Eastern Europeans over non-whites and Jewish Holocaust survivors. Despite protests from MPs Dick Crossman and Tom Driberg former members of the Waffen-SS and Nazi police units made new lives in Britain. British intelligence recruited agents among them and sent many into the Eastern Bloc where they were betrayed by Kim Philby. Only in 1986 did the Simon Wiesenthal Centre provide evidence that could not be ignored. The House of Lords defied the Commons in a last ditch effort to stop legislation which would permit war crime trials in Britain but on May 10 1991 the war crimes bill was signed by The Queen. This authoritative book written by a former researcher for the All-Party Parliamentary War Crimes Group brings together the whole extraordinary story exposing the use made of Nazi collaborators by British intelligence the post-war 'cover up' and provides in-depth background to the first war crimes trials in Britain for fifty years.

‎JUVENILE OFFENDERS‎

‎London: Unwin 1896. Light green cloth. pp xx 319. Bit of tanning to spine endpapers and page edges else fine no owner marks. The Rev. Morrison who was Rector of St. Marylebone in London from 1908 to 1943 served as a Chaplain in Her Majesty's Prison Service from 1883 to 1898 and derived from his prison experience an interest in criminology and penology which found expression in his two books on adult and juvenile crime respectively as well as his numerous contributions to periodicals and newspapers. " - Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology Spring 1964. This book by this pioneer criminologist was the standard one for many years. "The work of William Douglas Morrison was characterized by the demand for cautious interpretation of criminal statistics the insistence on understanding the conditions surrounding the data before drawing inferences from them the reliance upon empirical confirmation whenever possible the emphasis placed upon the study of the offender as well as the offense the enunciation of what was tantamount to a theory of differential association disapproval of capital punishment and dissatisfaction with imprisonment as a solution to the problem the stress upon classification of offenders in an effort to individualize treatment the rejection of intemperance and economic conditions as the primary causes of crime and the analysis of criminal behavior as the result of certain major individual and social factors working interdependently relatively free of free-will. The validity of his ideas is attested to by the fact that they have become an integral part of the contemporary criminological scene." - Gerald D. Robin in the same journal. . First printing.

‎VANE Henry Sir 1613 62‎

‎THE TRYAL OF SIR HENRY VANE Kt at the King's Bench Westminster June the 2d. and 6th 1662.‎

‎London 1662. Title page continues: "Together with what he intended to have spoken the day of his sentence June 11 for arrest of judgment had he not been interrupted and over-ruled by the court and his bill of exception. With other occasional speeches &c. Also his speech and prayer &c. on the scaffold." pp 3-135. 19.5 cm. Modern quarter calf and patterned boards spine with red label and gilt rules by Pride's Crossing Bindery. Title page has an 1834 ink name in upper corner and a crease to lower inner corner; text paper a little yellowed; a couple small dark spots to pp 101-04; a few small dark spots to last leaf; near fine text clean and unworn externally fine. >>> Sir Henry Vane the younger a devout Puritan emigrated to Massachusetts in 1635 and was elected Governor in 1636. An advocate of religious tolerance his single term as Governor was not a successful one - he engaged the colony in war with the Pequots for one thing - but he was instrumental in the founding of Harvard College and he was also a supporter of Roger Williams and the foundation of Rhode Island. Sir Harry returned to England in 1637 now more radical and anti-clerical becoming a member of the Short and Long Parliaments and advocating for the separation of church and state. After the fall of Cromwell and the Restoration Vane was granted clemency for his part in the Glorious Revolution but it was overturned. He stood trial for high treason and as was the custom of the time was forced to defend himself without benefit of counsel. The court was packed with Royalists and he was convicted and subsequently beheaded on Tower Hill. Samuel Pepys was present and wrote "He made a long speech many times interrupted by the Sheriff and others there; and they would have taken his paper out of his hand but he would not let it go. But they caused all the books of those that writ after him to be given the Sheriff; and the trumpets were brought under the scaffold that he might not be heard. Then he prayed and so fitted himself and received the blow; but the scaffold was so crowded that we could not see it done.He had a blister or issue upon his neck which he desired them not hurt: he changed not his colour or speech to the last but died justifying himself and the cause he had stood for; and spoke very confidently of his being presently at the right hand of Christ; and in all things appeared the most resolved man that ever died in that manner and showed more of heat than cowardize but yet with all humility and gravity. One asked him why he did not pray for the King. He answered 'Nay' says he 'you shall see I can pray for the King: I pray God bless him !" Lowndes says "THE TRYAL was written by a Sectarist in favor of Vane and printed by stealth." Sir Henry's views on the ultimate power of the governed over the governors were the crux of the thinking which lead to the Declaration of Independence in the American colonies. Sabin 98500.
