Paperback. Condition: Fair. First Edition. 20 p. ; folio Begins page 1 hence no title page. "Dangerfield was born about 1650 at Waltham Abbey, Essex, the son of a farmer. At the age of 12 around 1662, he ran away from home to London, and never returned to his home.He began his career by robbing his father, and, after a rambling life, took to coining false money, for which offence and others he was many times imprisoned: it was later said that to describe his career one need simply copy out a list of every major crime in English law. [1]False to everyone, he first tried to involve James Scott, 1st Duke of Monmouth and others by concocting information about a Presbyterian plot against the throne, and this having been proved a lie, he pretended to have discovered a Catholic plot against Charles II. This was known as the Mealtub Plot, from the place where the incriminating documents were hidden at his suggestion, and found by the king's officers by his information.[2]Mrs Elizabeth Cellier, in whose house the tub was, almoner to the Countess of Powis, who had befriended Dangerfield when he posed as a Catholic, was, with her patroness, actually tried for high treason and acquitted (1680). [3]For a time Dangerfield was used as a secondary witness in the Popish Plot trials to supplement the evidence of Titus Oates and William Bedloe, but his character was so unsavoury, even compared to the other informers, that Chief Justice William Scroggs finally told juries to disregard the evidence of "so notorious a villain". [4] Dangerfield, when examined at the bar of the House of Commons, made other charges against prominent Roman Catholics, and attempted to defend his character by publishing, among other pamphlets, Dangerfield's Narrative.This led to his trial for libel, (Kenyon notes that he could not be tried for perjury as no-one had ever believed his evidence)[5] and on 20 June 1685 he received sentence to stand in the pillory on two consecutive days, be whipped from Aldgate to Newgate, and two days later from Newgate to Tyburn.[6] On his way back he got into an argument with a barrister, Robert Francis, who struck him in the eye with his cane; the cane seems to have entered the brain, and Dangerfield died shortly afterwards from the blow.[7] Francis was tried and executed for murder.[8] While several witnesses testified that he had deliberately stabbed at Dangerfield's eye,[9] the verdict came as something of a surprise to the public, the popular view being that the death "could hardly have been even called manslaughter". King James II was solicited for a royal pardon, but, despite his utter contempt for Dangerfield, decided that it would be wrong to let the crime go unpunished.[10]. Book.

Text block edges stained red. Small bookplate to front pastedown and a note on page 224 stating 'Read Octo[be]r 1742'. Marbled boards and endpapers. Signatures: A-P? Rare. Shelved in Case 3. This work is a "fictitious narrative with some scraps of truth" attributed to Thomas Dangerfield (1650-1685) (cf. DNB). Dangerfield was an English criminal and conspirator who became a notable informer in the Popish Plot (1678-1681), a conspiracy which alleged that Catholics were conspiring to assassinate English king Charles II. The resulting anti-Catholic panic led to the executions of at least 22 men. Dangerfield was called as a supporting witness on several occasions during the height of the panic, but because his criminal past was so well known to the courts, his evidence was largely discounted. However, the titular character in Don Tomazo, whose life is based on Dangerfield's, is portrayed quite glamorously: "Tomazo's rambles are told in a genial mock-heroic manner by a witty and inventive narrator. Frustrated by his father's severity, the boy robs him and heads off to Scotland with Jemmy, hoping for riches. The reality turns out to be rather different.Not to be defeated, Tomazo proceeds to out-rogue the English rogue in a career which - mingling Dangerfield's pedestrian crimes with fantastic exploits - takes in forgery, theft, coining, soldiering, whoring, spying, and piracy.Tomazo's luck never deserts him: when captured as a spy in Antwerp he is saved by the intervention of a Catholic priest and when he is arrested in England for coining it is Mrs Cellier who procures his release. Notably, the narrative ends without describing the events of the Popish Plot." [McElligott, Jason. Fear, Exclusion and Revolution, 2006, page 116-117] The book label of one Robert W. Downing appears on the front pastedown. Downing or another owner annotated the final page of the text with the note "Read Octo[be]r 1742." ESTC: R12136. 1329459. Shelved Dupont Bookstore.
