Often issued by the chairmen of the Quarter Sessions, grand jury charges of this period were a useful vehicle for the judge's social, moral and political views. Gonson, a judge and enthusiastic moral reformer commemorated in Hogarth's A Harlot's Progress (1731) and Pope's An Essay on Man (1733), frequently took advantage of this platform. This charge was given to a recently empaneled jury. It stresses the importance of juries and discusses the crimes in cases this jury will hear, among them treason and burglary. Both issues of this charge are rare. OCLC locates 2 copies of our issue in North American law libraries (Harvard, University of Pennsylvania). English Short-Title Catalogue T59619.
