Condition: Very Good. In 1658, Dr John Hewet, a Royalist clergyman and outspoken critic of the Protectorate, was tried before the High Court of Justice for high treason. Hewet had refused to take the oath of allegiance to Oliver Cromwell and was implicated in correspondence with exiled Royalists, including plans to restore Charles II. His trial was part of a broader crackdown on Royalist conspiracies and dissenting voices within England. Hewet conducted his defence with dignity, asserting the illegitimacy of the court and the lawfulness of monarchy. Despite his eloquence and support from sympathisers, he was found guilty and executed, becoming a martyr figure for those who opposed Cromwell's rule and longed for the return of the king. 13 pages, printed in double columns. Printed between 1809 and 1826, these historic documents are vivid extracts from Cobbett's State Trials; pages from the courtroom record that preserve the voices, arguments, and verdicts which helped shape the course of British justice and still echo through its constitutional legacy. Over two centuries old, each leaf is a tangible fragment of legal history, compelling, original, and rarely encountered outside institutional collections. These are not reprints or replicas, but authentic 19th-century printings that are rich in drama, and steeped in history. This particular trial report has been removed from a volume of Cobbett's State Trials and is now preserved in a modern card cover for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable presentation that favours function over finery. Size: 15 x 25 cms. Category: State Trials; State Trials::Octavo; Cosmo Books : 29 years on ABE, 47 years taking care of customers. A bookseller you can rely on.

Condition: Very Good. In 1643, a clandestine Royalist conspiracy was uncovered within London, implicating several prominent figures including Edmund Waller, a celebrated poet and MP, and Thomas Tompkins, a government official. The plot aimed to raise armed support for King Charles I from within the city, undermining Parliament's control at a critical juncture in the Civil War. Once exposed, the conspirators were brought before a Council of War, where the proceedings revealed a network of sympathisers and secret communications. Waller, in a bid to save himself, gave a detailed confession that led to the arrest of others, including Challoner and Tompkins, the latter of whom was executed. The affair shocked Parliament and served as a cautionary tale of divided loyalties within its own ranks. 14 pages, printed in double columns.
