A propos de cet article

In 1680, Thomas Thwing, a Catholic priest, and Mary Pressicks, a laywoman, were tried at the York Assizes for high treason, accused of conspiring to aid a supposed Popish uprising in the north of England. The charges emerged in the wake of the Popish Plot hysteria, when suspicion of Catholic activity ran high and even tenuous associations could prove fatal. Thwing was alleged to have maintained correspondence with Jesuits and to have plotted rebellion, while Pressicks was implicated through her support and association. Despite the lack of substantive evidence, Thwing was convicted and executed; Pressicks, though condemned, was later reprieved. The trial stands as a stark example of the reach of anti-Catholic fervour into provincial England, and the vulnerability of both clergy and laity to political persecution. 11 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. Size: 15 x 25 cms. Category: State Trials; State Trials::Octavo; Cosmo Books : 29 years on ABE, 47 years taking care of customers. A bookseller you can rely on. Softcover (Booklet - Unbound Pages).…
