Item description from seller

Softcover bound-in a later binding. A chronicle of the sensational divorce trial between famed American actor Edwin Forrest and Catherine Norton Sinclair Forrest. Published under the New York Herald’s law reporter’s supervision, this 185-page 'Certified Edition' includes previously suppressed testimony, offering an unfiltered view of the proceedings. The trial, sparked by Edwin’s adultery allegations after finding Catherine with another actor, unfolded over 32 days in New York’s Superior Court. Catherine countersued, and the court ruled in her favour, awarding her $3,000 annual alimony (later adjusted). The book details witness accounts, legal documents, and the infamous Consuelo and Forney letters, exposing intimate scandals that captivated the public. Rebound editions preserve this historical legal drama, reflecting 19th-century social and theatrical intrigue. Illus. 185pp. 8vo. Printed paper wraps bound-in later h/back binding. Unopened pp., fr. cover showing edge-wear, with lge. piece missing from back cover, so G. only (see images), h/back covers F. in protective film.
