Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. In the aftermath of the infamous Thistlewood Treason Trial, this book delves into the finer points of the Law of Treason, as relevant at the turn of the 19th century in Britain. Published at a time when treasonous activity was rife, the book's publication also coincided with a period of renewed public awareness of historical Treason cases, and as such, this book is also a valuable historical record of popular attitudes to the law at the time. The book explains that while historically, Treason has been defined as a mere 'intention' to commit treasonous acts, the author clarifies that in order to be legally convicted of High Treason, certain 'overt acts' must also be proven to have been carried out by the accused. The author argues that any insurrection that has as its goal the alteration of either the government or its policies, amounts to treasonous activity, even if the attempt is not directly aimed at the Monarch, but rather the Monarch's ministers. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780243072224_0
