24pp. Printed theatre notice, excusing errors in the text, loosely inserted. Original printed paper tan wrappers. A trifle rubbed and dusty. Internally clean and crisp. A scarce programme for a staging at the Theatre Royal, Olympic, of an original pantomime based on the Gunpowder Plot, to be performed by 'a company of amateurs' on 31st March, 1855. Peculiarly, the prologue, rather than being in anyway connected to the drama, takes the form of an argument on the merits of theatre between 'The Spirit of Pantomime', 'Modern Drama', and 'The Shade of Shakspere'.

Hardcover. Condition: Very good condition. Third Edition, with additions. This volume contains trials from 1388-1648, including the complete celebrated trials of Sir Walter Raleigh and Guy Fawkes. Sir Walter Raleigh's trial, 17th November 1603, in which Raleigh was accused of conspiracy to commit treason against the Crown for attempting to establish Arabella Stuart as queen of England rather than James I. At his trial the evidence consisted primarily of a sworn "confession" by Lord Cobham, Raleigh's alleged co-conspirator, but the tribunal refused to allow Cobham to testify. Raleigh was found guilty of treason, though King James spared his life and imprisoned him in the Tower of London until 1616, when he was released in order to head an expedition in search of El Dorado. (pp212-231). Guy Fawks (sic) trial, "the Gunpowder-Plot" follows immediately after Raleigh's trial. The plot was a failed assassination attempt against King James I of England and VI of Scotland by a group of English Catholics led by Robert Catesby, which famously planned to blow up the House of Lords. The trial began on Monday 27 January 1606 at Westminster Hall. Fawkes pleaded not guilty, despite his apparent acceptance of guilt from the moment he was captured, and was sentenced to death. Volume I of a 6 volume set. Folio, xxiv, 1044pp. Deaccessed by the NY Association of the Bar Library, with their stamp on the title page.

London, 1829. 9-3/4" x 7-1/2". "Kind Folks You See, Our Effigy, Designed for Guy Fawkes; Who With Base Mind, Was Once Inclin'd to Give King James Hard Knocks" [Broadside]. [Guy Fawkes Day]. A New Guy Fawkes Speech. [London]: E. Billing, 186, Bermondsey Street, [c.1840]. 9-3/4" x 7-1/2" broadside. Six-stanza verse text within woodcut typographical border, first four stanzas in two columns, separated by woodcut rules below headline and vignette of a group of people burning Fawkes in effigy. Light toning, otherwise fine. A well-preserved rare item. $650. * A celebratory broadside commemorating Guy Fawkes Day. Also known as Guy Fawkes Night, Bonfire Night or Firework Night, it is an English national holiday commemorating the failed Gunpowder Plot, an attempt by a group of Catholics to assassinate King James I by blowing up the House of Lords during the State Opening of Parliament. The plot was foiled when Fawkes was discovered with a cache of explosives hidden beneath the House of Lords. The date of our broadside is conjectured from a similar broadside by Billing with a contemporary handwritten date of 1829 held by the National Library of Scotland. The verses on that copy end with "God save the King." Ours ends with "God save the Queen," so we assume it was printed in the early years of Queen Victoria's reign, which began in 1837.
