Synopsis
Excerpt from The Test of Guilt: Or Traits of Ancient Superstition, a Dramatic Tale From a large collection of unpublished writings of the late Mr. Joseph Strutty my honoured Parent, I select this little dramatic Tale, intitled the Test of Guilt, for the inspection and approbation of the Public, who are already in possession of several extensive Works from his pen; trusting that it will not be found unworthy to rank among his former larger productions; and hoping that it may at least excite the interest of the Reader. Mr. Strutt's literary labours have been almost exclusively devoted to the investigation and elucidation of the Antient Records and Documents relative to his native Country: and in these researches, he has been aided by the guidance of truths, though hidden, yet treasured up in the volume of Antiquity, and thence deducible. - In this little Tale, the genius of the Author has had its full scope; nor has he consulted any other record, than his own genuine feelings which are here faithfully transcribed. To speak separately of the characters incidental to the Tale, would be needless. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Concerning the plot, or leading incident in the Tale, whether it be borrowed from the record of history, whether it be a story of credence in some country village, or altogether an invention of the Author, I cannot determine.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, written in the 18th century and set in medieval England, is a historical tale of deception, murder, justice, and redemption. Blending historical context with mystery, the author delves deep into the human psyche to explore themes of guilt, prejudice, and the nature of justice. When a young woman is murdered, the prime suspect is Henry Fitzhugh, who is found near the crime scene with a bloody weapon. Despite his claims of innocence, the circumstantial evidence condemns him in the eyes of the community. Imprisoned and awaiting execution, Henry faces despair but clings to the hope that the truth will prevail. As the story unfolds, the reader is invited to question the reliability of appearances and weigh the evidence against the possibility of a grave miscarriage of justice. The book's exploration of guilt and innocence, the power of prejudice, and the search for redemption resonates with timeless relevance, making this historical tale an intriguing and thought-provoking read for anyone interested in historical mysteries and the human condition.
