1st Edition (1947) CLEAN!! No marks in text. Dust Jacket is good with light wear and small edge tears. . . . James Duckett is regarded as a patron intercessor [Saint] of booksellers and publishers. James Duckett (died 19 April 1602) was an English Catholic layman and martyr, executed at Tyburn for printing Catholic devotionals. He was active in propagating Catholic literature. He was finally betrayed by Peter Bullock, a bookbinder, who acted in order to obtain his own release from prison. Duckett's house was searched on 4 March 1602 and he was arrested on a charge of having 25 copies of Fr. Southwell's books on his premises. For this he was at once thrown into Newgate. At the trial, Bullock testified that he had bound various Catholic books for Duckett, who admitted this but denied other false accusations in a self-possessed manner. The jury found him not guilty; but the judge, Sir John Popham, the Lord Chief Justice, browbeat the jury, which reversed its verdict and Duckett was found guilty of felony. Despite the betrayal of Duckett, Bullock was taken to his death at Tyburn in the same cart as Duckett on 19 April 1601. James Duckett was beatified by Pope Pius XI on 15 December 1929. -- Wikipedia.
