Moderate toning, occasional early marks and notes in pencil to margins, faint dampstaining to margins of title page and a few other leaves. $300. * Only edition. This trial addressed the contested boundary between freedom of the press and the law of libel. In his Massachusetts Journal and various handbills, Child accused Keyes of irregularities as chairman of the county Committee of Accounts, bid rigging and animosity toward the administration in power in Washington. Child was found guilty. Our copy was owned by Samuel Gardner Drake [1798-1875], an important antiquarian bookseller, publisher and prolific historian. The bookstore he operated in Boston specialized in early American history, as Drake himself did; a copy of this title is listed in a catalogue he issued in 1869.
