Moderate toning light foxing light rubbing to extremities final two leaves partially detached owner name "Renier" to verso of title page owner initials "AR" to verso of final leaf. $250. First edition one of two issues from 1792. This was a legally and politically important trial. Tooke one of the great English radicals of the period opposed Fox in the Westminster elections of 1790. Defeated by a large majority he petitioned the House of Commons for redress based on allegations of riotous conduct by the electors. The action was declared frivolous and Tooke was sued by Fox for 198 damage. To make matters worse under the 1789 law against vexatious suits Tooke was held liable as well for costs. The trial heard before Lord Kenyon gave Tooke a platform from which he condemned Parliamentary corruption and spoke eloquently against the severe limitations imposed upon juries in this and other trials of a similar nature--from a legal point of view perhaps the most interesting feature of the trial. Counsel for Fox was Thomas Erskine. Despite its topicality this pamphlet had an unusually long history; it was re-issued in 1793 1812 1815 and 1819. This copy belonged to Anne Renier 1911-1988. She and her husband Fernand Gabriel Renier 1905-1988 were important collectors of popular books pamphlets and ephemera. English Short-Title Catalogue N11983. unknown

A report of a turning point in the Reign of King Louis-Philippe I also known as the July Monarchy 1830-1848: the trial that followed the failed 1831 uprising against the king a member of the House of Orleans provoked by Legitimists people who denied the legitimacy of a non-Bourbon monarch. This event was sparked by a politically charged memorial service for the Bourbon Duke of Berry who was assassinated in 1820. It ended with the repression of the Legitimists. The wry inscription reads "offered by the accused Valerius." A fervent Legitimist he was a primary organizer and financier of the memorial ceremony which was seen by government as an incitement to riot. Valerius and his co-defendants were ultimately acquitted. This copy was later acquired by Lacombe 1834-1919 an important Parisian archivist and historian who was also a notable bibliophile. This is a scarce title.

PROCESSO NIGRISOLIBiblio.com

Raccolta di circa 500 quotidiani di diverse testate di varie parti d'Italia che ripercorrono lo svolgersi del processo a carico di Carlo Nigrisoli accusato di uxoricidio nei confronti di Ombretta Galeffi

1963ref. 1059421963/1965. Tutti i quotidiani sono in ottimo stato di conservazione nella loro piega originale del mezzo. Di ogni numero è stato conservato il foglio o i fogli interi inerenti le notizie che giorno dopo giorno venivano riportate sul processo sui vari protagonisti sui testimoni e sui più diversi pareri di esperti. Oggi si parlerebbe di femminicidio allora era più l'aspetto "peccaminoso" che faceva presa sui lettori: schiere di amanti sfilarono davanti al Pubblico Ministero al giudice ai giurati a principi del Foro che accettarono la difesa. La vita di Carlo Nigrisoli i suoi atteggiamenti i suoi interventi o peggio i suoi mancati interventi portarono quasi immediatamente il pubblico a schierarsi verso un atteggiamento colpevolista; ma interessante notare anche la svolta presa da questo processo verso un campo abbastanza nuovo per il periodo: le prove scientifiche addirittura atomiche. Ne esce da tutto un desolante quadro di una famiglia distrutta fra tradimenti superficilità paure misteri e particolarmente ne esce la solitudine di una donna che giorno dopo giorno ha visto svanire la fiaba del suo matrimonio e forse si è abbandonata quasi ad un "inevitabile" destino cattivo e dall'altra parte di un uomo certamente non probo ma possibile mai che possa essere così irrazionale che dopo aver deciso di uccidere la moglie lasci innumerevoli tracce del suo delitto tanto da essere incriminato e condannato Forse solo una cosa importante allontana questo delitto dai tanti che oggi ci vengono mostrati quasi quotidianamente: il rispetto che ebbero i nonni i giudici gli amici per i bambini di Ombretta stringendo attorno a loro una impenetrabile cortina di difesa.

First edition. As McDade notes "The murder in the Harvard Medical School of Dr. George Parkman a prominent Bostonian and Harvard Alumnus by Professor John W. Webster was in the words of Edmund Pearson 'America's classic murder.'" The present account is "the basic book on the case and contains all the evidence." A two-volume edition appeared the same year and the work was reprinted in 1879. The J.H. Anthon who owned this copy was likely John Hone Anthon 1832-1874 a New York attorney and the son of John Anthon an important American jurist and a founder of the New York Law Institute. J.B. Coppinger may have been John B. Coppinger a first lieutenant and adjutant in the 83d New York Infantry during the Civil War. The pencil annotations which provide brief but often lively commentary do not appear to be in either's hand. McDade The Annals of Murder 1060. unknown

Light rubbing to boards moderate rubbing to extremities front joint starting corners bumped and lightly worn early owner name "Clara A. Coolidge" to front free endpaper. Moderate toning to interior faint dampstaining to foot of text block. A very good copy. $450. Only edition. The d'Hauteville case was a 19th-century cause celebre that pitted an American heiress against her Swiss aristocratic husband in a battle that transfixed the Atlantic world. When Ellen Sears fled her 'tyrannical' husband to give birth in Philadelphia she challenged the centuries-old legal tradition of patria potestas-the absolute right of the father to his children. This report documents the court's revolutionary decision to prioritize the child's welfare over the father's 'property' rights. It is a cornerstone of American jurisprudence cited for decades as the origin of the 'Tender Years Doctrine' and the shift toward maternal custody for infants. This copy bears the contemporary ownership signature of Clara A. Coolidge likely of the prominent Boston family. Her possession of this specific report is noteworthy as the d'Hauteville case became a rallying cry for elite 19th-century women navigating the restrictive laws of coverture and custodial rights.

A sensational case of a million-pound plot to defraud Continental bankers by forged letters of credit or lettres circulaires purporting to have been issued by the bankers Glyn Hallifax Mills & Co. The plot was exposed by a Times of London correspondent in a letter published on 26th May 1840. This case was important because it exposed the largely unregulated banking practices associated with letters of credit which were easy to forge and difficult to police. The naming of Allan George Bogle-who was almost certainly involved-triggered this libel action against John Joseph Lawson the printer and publisher of the Times and resulted in the award of one farthing damages for Bogle but enormous expense and the considerable gratitude of bankers and investors for the Times. The present report is probably the most detailed account of a major financial swindle of this period particularly one involving letters of credit. A second edition was published the same year as the first the third and final edition in 1842. Our first edition was owned by Sir Geoffrey Briggs 1914-1993 an English lawyer and. unknown

Alexander Dobie Lawson's defense attorney and the recipient of this copy is thanked warmly in the preface "for affording Hughes access to the original documents in the cause as well as for correcting the evidence from the notes of the short-hand writer" 40. Bogle v. Lawson was a sensational case centering around a million-pound plot to defraud Continental bankers by forged letters of credit. The plot was exposed by a Times of London correspondent in a letter published on 26th May 1840. The naming of Allan George Bogle who was almost certainly involved triggered this libel action against John Joseph Lawson the printer and publisher of the Times. Bogle won the case but thanks to Dobie's skilled defense his victory was costly. The jury granted him a mere farthing in damages and ordered him to pay his own hefty legal expenses. T. unknown
