1816réf. 755661816. The Repudiation of Queen Caroline Trial. Caroline of Brunswick Queen of England 1768-1821 Defendant. The Attempt to Divorce the Princess of Wales Impartially Considered; More Particularly with Reference to the Probability of its Success. London: Printed for J. Ridgway and Sons 1816. 25 1 pp. Lacking final advertisement leaf. Octavo 9" x 5-1/2". Stab-stitched pamphlet bound in early textured cloth printed label to front board edges untrimmed. Light toning and foxing to interior. $250. Third edition one of four from the same year. The repudiation of Queen Caroline by King George IV was one of the most sensational events in English history. Estranged soon after their marriage Caroline was eventually banished to Europe after the birth of their daughter Princess Charlotte Augusta. In 1820 her husband's accession to the throne brought her back to Britain. The King asked his ministers to get rid of her. After she refused a monetary offer to ask for a divorce the Earl of Liverpool introduced The Pains and Penalties Bill to the House of Lords in July 1820 in order to strip Caroline of her title and dissolve her marriage. The bill alleged that Caroline had an affair with a servant Bartolomeo Bergami while in Italy. The bill was approved by the House of Lords but it was not submitted to the House of Commons where it would have been defeated. Despite the King's best attempts Caroline remained a popular favorite. Published in 1816 our anonymous work presciently concludes that "there is every reason to believe that the design of dissolving the existing marriage of the Prince Regent will fail" and that "the expectations of the Princess Charlotte will not be defeated."

Moderate toning to interior occasional light foxing light soiling in a few places. $450. Only edition. Oates an Anglican clergyman and his friend cleric and anti-Catholic Dr. Israel Tonge were the inventors of the Popish Plot one of the cruelest hoaxes in British history and the inspiration for a wave of anti-Catholic violence. They pretended to have discovered a Jesuit plot to assassinate the King massacre Protestants and set James Duke of York the King's Catholic brother on the throne. From 1678-1681 at least 15 innocent men were executed as traitors on Oates's testimony. In 1681 however the tide began to turn against Oates. Undeterred by the change in public opinion he pronounced the Duke of York a traitor and was sued for libel in 1684. The present work documents the trial at which Oates refused to plead and the subsequent 100000 fine awarded as damages. He was imprisoned after defaulting. When James acceded to the throne in 1685 Oates was convicted of perjury imprisoned for life stripped of his vestments and publicly whipped. He was later pardoned by William and Mary and granted a pension of 260 per year. English Short-Title Catalogue R34141. unknown books
