Second Edition a very good copy in contemporary blind-ruled sheep, the slightest of rubbing to extremeties, pastedowns sprung, very slight paper flaw to text of leaf N1 (p. 70), with the pictorial bookplate of Robert J. Hayhurst to the verso of the upper board. 12mo (169 x 96 mm), engraved frontispiece and pp. [iv], 95, [1], divisional title-page to the second part: ?Revenge upon Revenge: or, an Historical Narrative of the Tragical Practices of Sir John Eland, of Eland?, dated 1761, text fairly evenly browned throughout, A charming copy of William Bentley?s history of the Yorkshire town of Halifax, with its striking frontispiece of a guillotine set in an English landscape. The most remarkable element of this history can be found in the second chapter, where Bentley goes into great detail about the ?Halifax Gibbet?, an early form of guillotine used to execute local thieves. Halifax was once part of the Manor of Wakefield, where by law, the Lord of the Manor had the authority to execute any thief caught with stolen goods to the value of 13 ½ d or more (equivalent to £10 today). Although decapitation was a fairly common method of execution in England, Halifax was unique for the rare design of their ?Gibbet? and for continuing to decapitate petty criminals until the mid-17th century. Although the origin of its installation is unclear, the first recorded execution in Halifax was in 1286 and the last in 1650. In 1650, Oliver Cromwell forbade the use of the gibbet and the structure was dismantled. A non-working replica was erected on the site in 1974, with a plaque commemorating the 52 people known to have been beheaded. First published in 1708, this is an important work of local scholarship. It was reissued with a cancel title-page in 1712 as The History of the famous town of Halifax in Yorkshire. It has also been attributed to Samuel Midgley. ESTC t33073.
