See Fauntleroy's entry in the Oxford DNB. Although accounts of his depravity are exaggerated, Fauntleroy led a dissolute life, and appropriated securities worth around £360,000. During his trial at the Old Bailey he called seventeen merchants and bankers to testify to his integrity, but his defence was unsuccessful, and he was hanged outside Newgate, before a crowd of 100,000. The present item is 1p, 4to. Bifolium, addressed on reverse of second leaf to 'Sir Cuthbert Sharp | &c &c', with endorsement. In fair condition, lightly aged and worn, with slight damage to inner edge of second leaf caused by removal from mount. With several folds. Written in a clear hand with a good bold signature. Reads: 'My Dear Sir Cuthbert | I have heard from you with every attention what you have proposed from the Assignees to me I will give it every consideration & shall hope in a few days to communicate with you upon the subject | I remain | Most faithfully Yrs | H Fauntleroy'. Sharp was presumably an assignee of an estate which had suffered as a result of Fauntleroy's forgeries.…

Minor chips and tears to a few leaf margins, not affecting text. Early ownership signature and "5" to head of title page. A very good copy. $500. * Only edition. Henry Fauntleroy was a prominent English banker whose conviction for forgery became a cause celebre. Though he admitted to the acts, he maintained they were committed solely to sustain his firm's credit. Despite the testimony of numerous merchants to his character and multiple appeals for clemency, he was executed in November 1824. He remains one of the last individuals in Great Britain to be hanged for forgery before it ceased to be a capital offense in 1836. The ownership inscription on the title page belongs to "Thos. Fisher / 3 Union Street / Bath," likely Thomas Fisher (1787-1863), a mid-nineteenth-century British solicitor. British Museum Catalogue (Compact Edition) 9:70.
