Sobre este artículo
Knight & Lacey. London. 1825. Knight & Lacey. 1825. First edition. Two hand-coloured humorous plates, attributed to the Cruikshank Brothers. Bound in half brown calf and rebacked in modern matching calf. Original marbled boards. Front hinge visible but sound. Prelims foxed and browned, other pages less so. Frontis. partially loose. Generally a sound copy of a scarce item. Ascribed sometimes to John Galt, one of the jurors, probably erroneously. Satire about the infamous and scandalous trial of the Scottish Presbyterian Rev. Alexander Fletcher, for breach of promise to marry Miss Eliza Dick. A prior trial, in the court of King's bench, in 1824, was dismissed without a verdict. This second trial was held by an ecclesiastical court, the United Associate Presbytery of London, and by decision of that court Fletcher was suspended from exercise of his office and from church fellowship. The "special jury" consisted of twelve illustrious Scots, including Sir Walter Scott, who was elected foreman. (DNB)
