A propos de cet article

In February 1799, John Cuthell, a London bookseller, stood trial at Westminster for publishing a seditious libelÃâÃâ¡Ã part of the government's sweeping campaign to silence radical voices in the wake of the French Revolution and the Irish Rebellion. The offending material, though modest in tone, was deemed politically dangerous for its criticism of the Crown and sympathy with reformist ideals. Cuthell's prosecution reflects the tightening grip of the Pitt administration on the press, where even indirect dissent could be construed as treasonous. His case offers a glimpse into the precarious world of late 18th-century publishing, where printers and booksellers risked ruin for circulating ideas that challenged the status quo. 20 pages, printed in double columns. Printed between 1809 and 1826, these historic documents are vivid extracts from Cobbett's State Trials; pages from the courtroom record that preserve the voices, arguments, and verdicts which helped shape the course of British justice and still echo through its constitutional legacy. Over two centuries old, each leaf is a tangible fragment of legal history, compelling, original, and rarely encountered outside institutional collections. These are not reprints or replicas, but authentic 19th-century printings that are rich in drama, and steeped in history. This particular trial report has been removed from a volume of Cobbett's State Trials and is now preserved in a modern card cover for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable presentation that favours function over finery.
