Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - MARY ANN ANSELL lived and slept in the kitchen of a boarding house in Great Coram Street, Bloomsbury, where she was the sole domestic servant. It was there, in 1899, late in the evening when all was quiet, that she made a cake. First she baked it in the range, and then she spread inside it a layer of cream, which was a curious yellow colour, because it was infused with a special ingredient - phosphorus rat poison. She wrapped it in ordinary brown paper and posted it off anonymously to her sister, poor Caroline, an inmate at Leavesden Asylum. Caroline ate some of the treat at tea-time, and generously shared the rest with her friends on the epilepsy ward. Soon she died in agony and the others were lucky to recover. The donor had not taken them into account. There was strong handwriting evidence and an astute Hertfordshire police detective tracked Mary Ann down and arrested her at her place of work in Bloomsbury. 'I am as innocent a girl as ever was born,' she protested. Charged with murder, she was tried at Hertfordshire Assizes, where she was convicted and sentenced to be hanged. She was twenty-one years old. Suddenly the case became a national cause célèbre. The Daily Mail mounted a campaign to save her, with reporters going out into the slums of north east Bloomsbury, where the large Ansell family lived in dire poverty, and compiling a dossier on familial mental defect. The author has taken a compassionate view and fully explored the sociological background, as well as the covert reasons for the refusal of mercy. 'Diminished Responsibility' would have rescued Mary Ann Ansell half a century later. She should have been sent to Broadmoor. Some people who begin this study with a firm belief in the rightness of capital punishment for domestic murder may not be so sure by the end. …

Cloth. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. First edition. A superb limited edition, and first published in book form, of the plea for justice for George Edalji by Arthur Conan Doyle, originally published in columns for The Daily Telegraph. The first edition published in book form, one of one thousand copies, twenty five of which are numbered and signed by the author. This volume is out of series and unnumbered.A fascinating volume comprising Arthur Conan Doyle's defence of Mr George Edalji, originally published forThe Daily Telegraph. Edited with an introduction by Richard and Molly Whittington-Egan.George Edalji was an English solicitor and son of a vicar of Great Wyrley. In 1903, he became infamous for being convicted for the 'Great Wyrley Outrages,' for mutilation of a horse and writing a series of malicious letters in the parish of Great Wyrley to his own family. His father worked tirelessly to ensure his son's innocence, and suddenly he was released in 1906 with no explanation. The case against hims was weak, and as Edalji tried to clear his name after prison, he gained the help of the famous British author Arthur Conan Doyle, who shared many traits with his character Sherlock Holmes. He investigated the case and campaigned against his conviction, as well as writing two articles for The Daily Telegraph. This volume contains his interesting summary of the case and essays.The case became notorious in the country and helped shape public opinion on the issues within the British justice system.Richard Lancelyn Green said "The Edalji pamphlet is one of the rarest and most interesting of Conan Doyle's works. A new edition which reprints his original summary of the case and his subsequent essays, while also bringing before the publicly for the first time his statement of the case against Royden Sharp, is indeed to be welcomed."#With the original, unclipped dustwrapper.

Whittington-Egan, Molly. Doctor Forbes Winslow: Defender of the Insane. Great Malvern, England: Cappella Archives, 2000. ix, 280 pp. Illustrations. Hardcover fine in lightly worn dust jacket. Internally clean. A near fine copy. $125. * Forbes Winslow was probably the most contentious psychiatrist of his time. Himself brought up as a child in asylums owned by his father, he then spent a lifetime persuading the courts that crime and alcoholism were the results of mental instability. His unwitting attempt to have a 'lunatic wife' committed to an asylum resulted in one of the most extraordinary court cases of the 19th-century. The asylums he had managed after his father's death were removed from his care following a family feud, so his attention turned to the solving of crime by Sherlock Holmesian methods. His views on the 'Jack the Ripper' murders, with some possible manipulation of evidence, gained him further publicity, which resulted in a visit to New York and appearances as an expert defence witness in some American cases involving lunacy. Molly's engaging and informative writing throws much light on an intriguing 'alienist' whose sympathies were with the mentally afflicted. Now that biochemical research is at the heart of modern psychiatric thinking, it is interesting to see the pre-Freudian founding fathers, such as Forbes Winslow, reaching towards genetic and organic solutions and their advocating the study of 'chemico-cerebral' pathology.
