Item description from seller

81 p. 29 cm. Title page has small section missing near spine, damp stains, small ink notation, some paper residue. Small reference label on title page verso only library marking.

A couple of small chips and tears to rear pages. Title continues: "For Conspiring The Death of the King, And raising a Rebellion in this Kingdom: At the Sessions-House in the Old-Baily London, on a Commission of Oyer and Terminer held there for the City of London and County of Middlesex, on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, July 12, 13, and 14. 1683."

While some of the defendants were likely guilty, Russell's guilt is in doubt and he is remembered as a Whig martyr. On rear of title, Will Prichard, Mayor of the City of London, appoints Royston, Took and Mearn (and no one else) to publish. These events led indirectly to the Glorious Revolution and the reform of English treason law.…
