1833réf. 858971833. Souvenirs of a Royal Divorce Trial: Lady Denman Apparently Giving to a Friend Examples of the Hands of Three of the Main Figures on Queen Caroline's Legal Defence Team Including An Example of the Hand of Her Husband Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench Manuscript Archive. Caroline of Brunswick Queen Consort 1768-1821. Autograph Notes from 3 of Queen Caroline's Defense Attorneys.2 pair of manuscripts one 7-1/4" x 4-1/2" 18.4 x 11.4 cm the other 8" x 6-1/2" 20.3 x 16.5 cm which bear the hands of three chief figures of the legal team for Queen Caroline the pair of MSS apparently having been given by Lady Denman to a Mrs. Impey in 1833 with a covering MS leaf 9" x 7-1/2" 22.8 x 19 cm whose recto gives the addressee's name likely in Lady Denman's hand above which is an endorsement likely in Mrs. Impey's hand. Typed transcripts included. Light edgewear and soiling fold lines very good condition overall. $1000. A little more than a decade earlier Denman had been one of the lead counsel on the defence team of Queen Caroline and had been conspicuously brilliant thereon. Mrs. Impey appears to have been sufficiently entranced with the celebrity of the defence team more than a decade later that she showed interest in having relics examples of the hands of three of the main figures on the team: Thomas Denman 1779-1854 later Lord Chief Justice; Henry Brougham 1778-1868 later Lord Chancellor; and Sir John Williams 1777-1846 later Puisne Justice at the Court of King's Bench. This desire was answered in full by Lady Denman who provided examples of the hands for Mrs. Impey whereupon Impey carefully annotated the group with headnotes for posterity. This is possibly the earliest example to survive of an autograph hunter seeking specifically autographs of a legal defence team from any trial: we are not aware of an earlier instance. The trial was a landmark in legal history and this clutch of autographs may well be a landmark in the history of the collecting of legal manuscripts. unknown

Shelf location labels to spines small stamps to title pages. $250. Valuable for their insights into New Brunswick during the late nineteenth century these volumes are from a series that commenced in 1786. Settled by the French New Brunswick was taken by the British in 1759 and incorporated into the colony of Nova Scotia. Its population expanded significantly through an influx of Loyalists after the American Revolution. Its enlarged population and distance from Halifax the capital of Nova Scotia led the colonial administrators to establish New Brunswick as a separate colony in 1784. The first collection of New Brunswick acts covering the years 1786-1805 was published in 1805. In 1867 New Brunswick was one of the six colonies that became the Canadian Confederation.
