Publisher Description:
This work offers a critical edition of original texts and documents necessary for understanding the trial's significance. By consolidating all accounts of the trial, scholars are able to consult and compare these accounts in a readily accessible volume.

  • Demonstrates that the often cited and printed account of the trial by Jacob Tonson was incomplete and often regarded by contemporaries as a partisan production
  • Extensively illustrated with rare prints and drawings - most existing in only one copy and never before reproduced
  • Documents the intense interest of contemporary readers in the meaning of the trial and presents transcripts and illustrations of their annotations
  • Allow scholars to consult and compare the varying accounts of the trial in a readily accessible volume
