Hardback. Zustand: Very Good Indeed. A smart volume of two, fascinating and very scarce nineteenth-century penny-print pamphlets relating to The Despard Plot, an attempted assassination of George III. Two fascinating early nineteenth-century pamphlets, both undated and relating to The Despard Plot to assassinate George III, foiled in 1802. Colonel Edward Marcus Despard was a former colonial administrator and the alleged ringlead of the The Despard Plot to assassinate George III. He was tried and executed for the crime in 1803, with much public outcry. Rebound in modern, paper covered boards with end papers renewed, original rear blank retained. Trial of Col. Despard with a hand coloured, folded frontispiece engraving of the trial. Collated, complete. The first pamphlet, The Memoirs of Miss Louisa Mansell, is a first person account of young woman who claims to be the lover of Colonel Despard. She alleges to have been cruelly tricked by a mysterious Miss Holmes, into meeting with Despard and loosing her virginity to him for thirty pounds. She then claims to have temporarily accompanied him to Fleet Prison. There is no record of this pamphlet on the ESTC or Library Hub Discover. Furthermore, there is no historical record of Despard ever taking a mistress. It is likely that this is a ficticious pamphlet, either invented to discredit Colonel Despard after his death and dissuade further rebellion, or simply produced to feed the popular demand for mass-produced 'penny prints' or, sensationalised and embellished criminal accounts. Despard was in fact married to Catherine Gordon, the daughter of a black free woman from Jamaica, with whom he had one son, James. She played an active role in garnering support for the conspiritors during their imprisonment and became a vital link between the prisoners and their sympathizers. Gordon was suspected to have smuggled contraband into the prison during visits to her husband, but the authorities were too afraid to search her. The second pamphlet, The Trial at Large of Col. Despard, also falls into the genre of the 'penny prints', documenting the trial day by day. It includes the glowing character testimony of Despard by Lord Admiral Nelson, a close friend and colleague of the accused. Despite the prosecution failing to produce substantial physcial evidence of the plot, Despard was execute on 21 February 1803, in front of crowd of approximately 20,000. Together, these pieces provide a fascinating insight into the nineteenth-century world of sensational, cheap print. Rebound in modern, paper covered boards with end papers renewed, original rear blank retained. Externally, excellent. With only very slight handling marks to boards. Internally, firmly bound, though the odd slight strain. Pages are age toned with the occasional handling mark or small closed tear to extremities. Previous owner's ink inscription to verso of first title page. Very Good Indeed. Not Stated (illustrator). book.…
