Add to basket[Perceval, John, 2nd Earl of Egmont (1711-1770)]. A Genuine Copy of the Tryal of J---- P-----l, Esq. etc. Commonly called E---- of E---. London Printed for R. Freeman, near Ludgate [1749].(205 x 125 mm) pp. 52. In usual disbound state, lacks half title. B-G4, H2.ESTC No. T144606Full title: A Genuine Copy of the Tryal of J----- P------l, Esq; &c. Commonly Call'd, E----- of E-------. The Reputed Author of a Pamphlet, Entituled, An Examination of the Principles, &c. Of the Two B-----rs. Try'd on Wednesday the 22d of February, At the Old-Bailey. For Several High Crimes and Misdemeanours. On a Special Commission of Oyer and Terminer. Directed to the Right Honourable the Lord Chief Justice Truth, The Lord Chief Baron Reason, And Mr. Justice Honesty. Taken in Short-hand by a Barrister at Law, And Revis'd and Publish'd by Order of the Judges.A sharp, anonymous satire targeting John Perceval, Earl of Egmont-pamphleteer, politician, and a vocal thorn in the side of the Pelham brothers. In this delightfully theatrical send-up, Perceval is dragged before the mock tribunal of Lord Chief Justice Truth, Lord Chief Baron Reason, and Mr. Justice Honesty to face charges of "high crimes and misdemeanours" (i. E., publishing a pamphlet too spicy for the establishment's taste). The verdict? Guilty, of course.Published in the thick of 1749's political pamphlet wars, this fictional trial responds to Perceval's attacks on Henry Pelham and his brother, the Duke of Newcastle. A rare surviving relic of 18th-century political snark, complete with redacted names, scathing wit, and a jury with a foregone conclusion.One of two issues published the same year-this being the more expansive version. ESTC T144606.
