Condition: Very Good. Sir Robert Atkyns's Vindication stands as a spirited defence of English legal tradition at a moment when the boundaries between justice and politics were perilously blurred. Written in the shadow of the Rye House Plot and the execution of Lord William Russell, the work seeks not only to justify the procedural integrity of English criminal law but to restore public faith in the magistracy itself. Atkyns's tripartite structure, legal justification, rebuttal of critics, and a plea for national reconciliation reveals a jurist deeply invested in both constitutional order and moral clarity. His call for a general act of indemnity is particularly striking, suggesting a vision of healing after years of factional strife and judicial spectacle. The appended defence of Lord Russell's innocence adds a poignant layer to the text, transforming it from abstract legal treatise into a personal act of historical redress. Atkyns challenges the legitimacy of Russells trial with precision and restraint, casting doubt on the evidentiary standards and political motivations that led to his execution. In doing so, he contributes to the evolving narrative of Russell as a martyr for liberty, a figure whose legacy would echo through Whig historiography and constitutional reform. For curators of political symbolism or editorial campaigns steeped in Restoration rhetoric, this work offers a compelling blend of legal gravitas and reputational rehabilitation. 24 pages.

Of 'The Substance of the Information'. Richard Perkin. Popish Plot informer involved in the Trial of the Lord Stafford. In 1678, Viscount Stafford was implicated in Titus Oates's later discredited "Popish Plot", and sent to the Tower of London on 31 October 1678, along with four other Catholic peers. They were due to be put on trial in early 1679, but Charles prorogued Parliament and it was delayed. The King initially seems to have had some suspicions about Stafford's loyalty, especially after hearing the seemingly plausible evidence of the informer Stephen Dugdale, and went so far as to offer Stafford a royal pardon if he would confess; but he later altered his opinion. Scepticism about the plot grew and it was thought that the imprisoned peers might be released, but anti-Catholic feelings revived in 1680 and Stafford was put on trial in November for treason. As a peer he claimed the privilege of peerage to be tried before the House of Lords, presided over by the Lord High Steward. As events would show, however, a peer could not take the sympathy of his fellow peers, even those peers who were his blood relations, for granted. The main evidence against Stafford came from Titus Oates, who said he had seen a document from the Pope naming Stafford as a conspirator; and from Stephen Dugdale, who testified that Stafford had tried to persuade him to kill the King when Stafford was visiting Dugdale's employers, the Astons, at their country house, Tixall, Staffordshire. The Substance of the Information of Richard Perkin of Shutborrow, concerns this period at The Astons.…
