"Hardy, the secretary of the London Corresponding Society, was charged with high treason for circulating pro-Jacobin propaganda in England. Among the offending publications was Hardy's 'The Patriot,' which included discussions of the writings of Thomas Paine. Hardy was arrested along with eight others, including the eminent John Horne Tooke, whom the Pitt government especially wished to silence. Thomas Erskine defended Hardy, arguing that reform rather than revolution was the aim of Hardy and the Society. [A]roused by strong public sentiment in behalf of the defendants, the jury brought a verdict of not guilty" [McCoy H92]. Our copy includes the trials of Hardy and Tooke only. ESTC N13795.
