Add to basketUnbound Pages. Condition: Very Good. Fourth Edition. Green and his crew face accusations of attacking an East India Company vessel, in a case steeped in political tension between Scotland and England. The trials controversial evidence and swift condemnation sparked international debate. It remains one of the most disputed piracy… prosecutions of the early eighteenth century, coloured by commercial rivalry and national resentment. 19 PAGES, printed in double columns. A genuine 1777 printing taken from the authoritative Complete Collection of State Trials. Originally compiled to serve both as a legal reference and a vehicle of political discourse, the State Trials series shaped contemporary and subsequent understanding of justice, authority, and dissent. The generously sized sheets on which these trials are printed offer particular pleasure to the eye and hand, bearing clear signs of their handmade origin: chain lines and wire impressions from the mould are readily visible, some pages display watermarks, and the paper varies subtly in thickness, all characteristic of 18th century rag paper. This particular trial report has been preserved in a modern card cover, prepared for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable presentation that favours function over finery. Size: 30 x 47 cms. Category: State Trials; Printed before 1800; State Trials::Large Folio. This item may require more postage than the rates shown for delivery outside the UK. If extra postage is required we will contact you before processing your order and you will be given the details and option to decline the extra cost.

Add to basket8vo, (192x120mm), viii,490p. Contemporary marbled calf, gilt roll border, rather worn with the joints split and backstrip faded, marbled edges; armorial bookplate of George Henkell. Despite these faults the book includes a nice, and not terribly common, example of red paste-decorated edges. (ESTC 21998) We make no apology for of…fering this odd volume as ESTC 35365 notes that 'other Edinburgh editions are piracies: this one too?' and cross-references this entry to that note. Furthermore, we find that paste-decorated edges on a book of this date are somewhat less than common. Please note that the advised postage is based on an average book, if possible the postage will be reduced to the correct amount and you will be notified by email.

Add to basketSecond and rare edition of an account of two fatal voyages with two ships. The first voyage was made with the French East Indiaman Le Prince and was commanded by Captain Morin. On 19 February 1752 this ship left the port of Lorient, sailing for Pondicherry. However initially the voyage went well, on 26 April 1752 there was a fir…e in Le Prince. It spread fast and it also reached the gunpowder magazine. Therefore the ship exploded, as the engraving shows, and only 10 persons survived.The second account concerns the seizure of the Dutch ship Rustenwerk, an East Indiaman of 650-ton. On 28 June 1752 this ship was taken by the pirate Frans Fransz after mooring of Ternate. He and his companions killed 12 people on board, which is depicted in the engraving. The survivors of this violent seizure by Frans Fransz reached Batavia and they sailed to Holland. Although the VOC succeeded in retaking the ship, Frans Fransz. Already escaped with the valuable cargo. A more historical addition to this report is the list it includes of 210 VOC ships lost in the period 1688-1752 through disasters, mutiny and piracy. These two ships are cruel examples of how East Indiamen could be defeated by fate. After this first edition, Mourik also published a second, also undated edition with the same plates. Spine slightly discoloured, otherwise in very good condition.l Landwehr & V.d. Krogt 437; STCN (1 copy); Tiele, Bibl. 1238; Worldcat (7 or 9 copies).
