réf. 12674No place or date. London c.1818. 1p. on 29 x 7 cm piece of unwatermarked laid paper probably cut down with no indication of printer or date. Printed with the long s. In good condition on lightly-aged paper. 64 lines arranged in eight eight-line stanzas. The first stanza reads: 'BRITAIN! brave and generous nation Listen to my plaintive strain Tho' exalted be my station! Day and night I sigh in pain; Here I came a helpless stranger With no friend to take my part Braved the stormy ocean's danger From home for ever to depart.' She appeals to her 'Good Uncle' i.e. King George III whose wife is described as 'your Queen a pious lady' asking him how he can stand by and 'Let a shameless woman trample On decency's offended laws'. A later reference to 'the Countess' makes it clear that this is Frances Villiers Countess of Jersey. The last stanza reads: 'There from empty pomp retreating Childless mother widow'd wife! My lost titles none repeating Let me lead a peaceful life. When you think on my sad story Britons drop a pitying tear! And fair England's fame and glory Shall to me be ever dear!'

In French. Title translates as "From Drancy to Auschwitz." Wolff # I: 1545. No. 6 in the "Edudes et monographies" series by the Centre de Documentation Juive Contemporaine.

"The Drancy camp was located in a northeastern suburb of Paris also called Drancy. In August 1941 the Germans established an internment camp at Drancy following the arrest of more than 4200 Jewish men in Paris. Beginning in summer 1942 Drancy became the major transit camp for the deportations of Jews from France. Until July 1943 French police staffed the camp under the overall control of the German Security Police and SD. In July 1943 the Germans took direct control of the Drancy camp and SS officer Alois Brunner became camp commandant. Approximately 70000 prisoners passed through Drancy between August 1941 and August 1944. Except for a small number of prisoners mostly members of the French resistance the overwhelming majority were Jews. Approximately one thousand prisoners managed to obtain release during the first year of the camp’s existence" USHMM. Early material on Drancy is scarce.

The Trial Confessions and Conviction of Jesse and Stephen Boorn for the Murder of Russell Colvin And the Return of the Man Supposed to Have Been Murdered.

Light soiling to wrappers light foxing to front wrapper light toning to text. A well-preserved copy. $150. As noted by McDade this famous case is a "constant reminder that innocent persons can be convicted. Russell Colvin the alleged victim had married a sister of the Boorns and had several children by her. He was mentally deficient and disappeared in 1812. Local gossip credited the Boorns with having disposed of him presumably because he was a burden on the family. In the spring of 1819 the Boorns were arrested and either from fear or mental weakness they told stories involving each other in the death of Colvin--Stephen's amounting to a confession of murder. They were tried and sentenced to be hanged; the state legislature however commuted Jesse's sentence to life imprisonment. As a last resort a notice was placed in the papers requesting information about Colvin. A farmer in Monmouth County New Jersey believed he recognized a hired man in the vicinity from the description. This man who was mentally deranged was enticed to Manchester arriving.six weeks before the day set for Stephen's execution. It was definitively established that he was the missing Colvin; he had apparently wandered off on his own volition annotation to Entry 111. Though published fifty-four years after the event the pamphlet was prepared by one of the defense counsellors and contains important information on the discovery and return of Colvin."

Fourth stated edition the only one with an appendix. After a brilliant military career in the West Indies Colonel Despard was made superintendent of the Bay of Honduras present-day Belize which was the site of significant British logging concessions. To the dismay of the local aristocrats Despard distributed land by lottery and without regard to distinctions of race religion or social class. Their complaints led to his dismissal and several lawsuits which put him in debtors' prison for two years. Financially ruined and bitter he came to resent the establishment. He joined the radical London Corresponding Society and revolutionary United Irishman and took part in a plot to organize uprisings in London and Ireland. After the plot was foiled Despard and six others were convicted of treason. A highlight during the trial was Lord Admiral Nelson's testimony as a character witness on Despard's behalf. Despard and his co-conspirators share the dubious distinction of being the last men in Great Britain sentenced to be hanged drawn and quartered the form of execution given to convicted traitors since 1283. However the king commuted their sentences to death by hanging followed by decapitation. This is a scarce edition. OCLC locates 1 copy in a North American law library University of Minnesota.
