Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Jacket by Tony Healey (illustrator). 1st Edition. First edition, first impression with '1' on copyright page. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR, IN BLACK PEN, WITHOUT DEDICATION, ON HALF TITLE PAGE. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, 'Signed by the Author' sticker to front jacket, corners slightly bruised, not price clipped (£18.99), no other inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy. 184pp. In the dark days of the war on terror, only one man can be counted on to fight injustice, defend the innocent, and insist on a fair and decent trial for all, contrary to New Labour's new anti terrorism laws. Rumpole's wig may be yellowing at the roots, his gown might be in tatters, but the oldest inhabitant of 4 Equity Court has no use for the word 'retirement'. There's the larcenous Timson family to defend, suicide bombers to dodge, Pommeroy's Wine Bar to frequent, and the financing of the Rumpole household, with Hilda's indulgence in luxury cleaning products, to look after. But when the beautiful Tiffany Timson's husband is arrested on suspicion of terrorism, Rumpole prepares to drop everything and take on his biggest challenge yet. Horrified to learn that the accused doesn't even know what he's charged with, he determines to insist upon a fair trial for the Pakistani doctor. But battling against the new legislation, and the slippery Home Secretary, proves a tricky task. And when She Who Must Be Obeyed starts locking herself in the box room 'minding her own business', Rumpole finds himself losing the plot, clueless about the goings on, even in his own mansion flat. Is the Anglophile doctor really an Al Qaeda agent? Will Rumpole discover Hilda's secret before it's too late? Will the Timson family ever forgive him for defending a terrorist? Featuring exclusive extracts from the memoirs of She Who Must Be Obeyed, and packed with John Mortimer's wickedly funny satire and compulsive plot twists 'Rumpole and the Reign of Terror' sees the great defender return to the Old Bailey in a case that challenges the very notion of modern justice.

Ephemera. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket. On offer is an excellent example of the legal bulletins that were published by the revolutionary government in the days of the French Revolution. The document is titled Bulletin Des Lois (Legal Bulletin) and is titled No. 59. It was published, according to the new French calendar, on 29 Fructidor Year 2 Sept 15, 1793. This date corresponds to the beginning of the Reign of Terror that period in the Revolution when a series of massacres swept across France and when the spectacle of endless public executions became a constant presence in virtually every city and town. This bulletin contains a summary of changes made to five different laws or regulations. One, for example, deals the responsibilities of agents of the government, Another deals with financial and insurance businesses. An excerpt follows: celui des membres de chaque comite civil des sections de Paris, qui, aux terms doit etre nomme pour exercer les functions d'agent national dans les actes relatifs aux marriages et divorces est et demeure charge par la presente loi de remplier egalement les fonctions deleguees a l'agent national par l'article 2 de la loi du 11 Ventose relativement aux successiones echues defenseurs de la patrie[Translation: that of the members of each civil committee of the Paris sections, which, under the terms must be appointed to exercise the functions of national agent in acts relating to marriages and divorces is and remains responsible by this law for also fulfilling the functions delegated to the national agent by article 2 of the law of 11 Ventose relatively successive defenders of the fatherland]. Another excerpt follows: Les companies financieres connus sous le nom de caisse d'escompt, d' assurances sur la vie et d' assurances contre les incendies dont la suppression et la liquidation. [Translation: Financial companies known as cash, life and fire insurance including suppression andliquidation]. For a historian, this is an excellent example of how the revolutionary government went about the business of drafting and refining the new laws they were creating. For a lawyer, this would be an excellent addition to a collection or a library, showcasing the steps being taken to create a whole new legal system.
