Cloth. Condition: Very Good. First edition. A first edition copy of George Jeffreys' account of the trial of Sir Samuel Barnardiston, expertly rebound in cloth. Sir Samuel Barnardiston was an English Whig Member of Parliament and deputy governor of the East India Company, defendant in some high-profile legal cases and involved in a highly contentious parliamentary election. Barnardiston was summoned to trial on the 28 February 1684 for libel, accused of 'being of a factious, seditious, and disaffected temper,' and having 'caused several letters to be written and published' that reflected badly on the king and officers of state. Indeed, two of the four letters that formed the basis of the charge were privately addressed to a Suffolk friend, Sir Philip Skippon, and the others to a linendraper of Ipswich and to a gentleman of Brightwell, with both of whom Sir Samuel was intimate. They contained sentences favouring William Russell, Lord Russell and Algernon Sydney, and stating that 'the papists and high tories are quite down in the mouth,' and that 'Sir George [Jeffreys] is grown very humble;' and on these words the accusation was founded. The trial was tried by George Jeffreys, unfortunately nicknamed as "The Hanging Judge", who became notable during the reign of King James II for avidly enforcing royal policy, resulting in a historical reputation for severity and bias. Jeffreys had a personal concern in the matter and directed the jury to return a verdict of guilty on the ground that the act of sending the letters was itself seditious. An arrest of judgment was moved for, a fine of £10,000 was imposed. However Barnardiston resisted payment, and was imprisoned until June 1688, when he paid £6,000, and was released on giving a bond for the residue. The whole case was later debated in the House of Lords on the 16 May 1689, and Jeffreys's judgment was reversed. An account of the trial was published in 1684 by George Jeffreys himself.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good-. First Edition. First Edition. Hardcover. Barnardiston (spelled incorrectly by the printer) was a Whig and a director of the East India Company. Jeffreys was, of course, the notorious English judge.

Overall, a handsome copy of another of Jeffreys' attacks on logic.
