1804br. d’attente, non rogné, (couv. fanée, dos lég. abîmé avec qq. mq., qq. rousseurs) « Je n’ai jamais été, je ne serai jamais le partisan ou le stipendiaire des ennemis de ma patrie ; je suis Français, et je m’honore de l’être : tous mes vœux ont été pour la gloire, pour la prospérité de la France ; toute ma haine a été vouée à ce cabinet qui trafique depuis huit ans des malheurs de l’Europe, à ce cabinet instigateur de tant de troubles et machinateur de tant de crimes ; et si j’ai approché les princes français dans l’intention et l’espérance de servir ma patrie, je me suis éloigné d’eux, plein de ce mépris qu’inspireront toujours des hommes qui comptent sur les droits de leur naissance, et non pas sur leur courage ou sur leurs qualités personnelles, pour rentrer dans un empire dont leurs courtisans et leurs flatteurs dévoreraient bientôt la substance et perpétueraient les désastres. La vérité m’obligera à dire ce que la modération de mon esprit me porterait à taire ; je ne puis ni ne veux rien celer. Qu’on blâme cet écrit, ou qu’on l’approuve, j’aurai rempli mon devoir ; j’aurai laissé à ma patrie un gage de mon amour pour elle ; et ces lignes, j’ose du moins l’espérer, défendront ma mémoire contre les atteintes de la calomnie ou de la haine. »

1824ref. BB056Murder Trial Account of the Murder of the late Mr William Weare . the coroner's inquest the trials of the prisoners and the execution. By George Henry Jones. London 1824. With 3 landscapes 2 folding plates finely lithographed by C J Hullmandel. 8vo iv344pp; half-leather marbled boards spine label "Thurtell's Trial" lightly scuffed very solid and clean throughout. First edition. William Weare was a solicitor of Lyon's Inn and a gambler. His killer was John Thurtell 1794–1824 a sports promoter amateur boxer a former Royal Marine officer and a son of the Mayor of Norwich. Thurtell owed Weare a gambling debt of £300 an immense sum at the time equivalent to £24500 in 20151. Thurtell believed Weare had cheated him of the money. Whatever the truth when Weare demanded payment Thurtell murdered him rather than pay up. He invited Weare to join him and his friends – Joseph Hunt a tavern landlord and William Probert a former convict and alcohol merchant – for a weekend of gambling at Probert's cottage at the site of Oaks Close off Gills Hill Lane subsequently popularly known as Murder Lane23 Radlett. On 24 October 1823 they journeyed from London in Thurtell's horse-drawn gig but Weare was killed in a dark lane just short of their destination. The gruesome and callous events created such public sensation that it attracted numerous ballads and theatre shows at the time along with comment by the essayist Babington Macaulay and the crime used variously in the work of Sir Walter Scott William Hazllitt and Robert Louis Stevenson. After the trial one of the accused was hanged and another Joseph Hunt was transported to Botany Bay Australia. Charles Joseph Hullmandel 1789–1850 studied art and printmaking and is considered amongst the most important figures in the development of British lithography. He developed a method for reproducing gradations in tones and for creating the effect of soft color washes which enabled the reproduction of Romantic landscape paintings of the type made popular by J. M. W. Turner. Hullmandel's essay The Art of Drawing on Stone 1824 was an important handbook of lithography issued the same year as this account of the trial.
