About this Item
Published by the No-Conscription Fellowship, London, shortly after the conclusion of the proceedings. Small 8vo, pp 23, original blue paper wrappers with black text; some foxing, staples rusted, covers a little browned and with some light fraying at the spine but generally a good copy. Russell was strongly pacifist during the first world war and among other consequent punishments was dismissed from his lectureship at Trinity College following this conviction. He was fined £100 but refused to pay in the hope that he would be sent to prison. In the event his books were taken to pay the fine but subsequently bought by his friends and returned to him. He was in fact later convicted and sentenced to six months in Brixton Prison for publicly speaking to discourage the entry of the US into the war. Very scarce. Seller Inventory # 000924

Store Description
Books are described carefully, accurately and fairly. Despite this errors can occur and of course we'll acknowledge any brought to our attention. If this error is material then we'll either make an appropriate partial refund or allow you to return the book at our cost and make a full refund of the book and postage costs originally paid by you.
Unfortunately too many booksellers, or at least among those recently come to the trade and treating books primarily as commodities, get over-optimistic ab...
More InformationBooks are priced individually and those prices do not include shipping costs or insurance. Books can also be collected, by arrangement.
The shipping matrix is, and can only be, a very rough guide to postage costs being based, as it is, on a base weight of 1kg (2.2lbs), with the additional book bringing that weight up to a maximum of 2Kg and with the package as a whole fitting in to the "small parcel" criterion of height + width + depth not exceeding 90cm and with no single side longer than 60cm (which certainly covers ordinary books, of course).
In consequence, postage costs may be less or more than estimated in that matrix but will always be charged at whatever rate Royal Mail has come up with at the time. We'll also seek to minimise postal charges by packing two or more books together or by using carriers for larger consignments, as appropriate. As for compensation for loss or damage in transit, Royal Mail has quietly reduced the amounts that can be claimed to £20.00 in general but additional insurance can be had and we'll let you know how much that will be where necessary.
