The Trial of Charles I before the High Court of Justice, 1649 : I am the king, your lawful king, and what sins you bring upon your heads, and the judgment of God upon this land, think well upon it. An Original Trial Report from Cobbett's State Trials, 1809, part of the great 19th-century archive of courtroom history.

JUDICIAL REGICIDE : WHERE MAJESTY WAS MADE MORTAL

Verlag: Cobbett's State Trials, London, 1809

Here ended the reign of prerogative, not with a treaty but with a timber block. The axe did not merely sever a head, it cleaved the centuries. 83 pages, printed in double columns. Printed between 1809 and 1826, these historic documents are vivid extracts from Cobbett's State Trials; pages from the courtroom record that preserve the voices, arguments, and verdicts which helped shape the course of British justice and still echo through its constitutional legacy. Over two centuries old, each leaf is a tangible fragment of legal history, compelling, original, and rarely encountered outside institutional collections. These are not reprints or replicas, but authentic 19th-century printings that are rich in drama, and steeped in history. This particular trial report has been removed from a volume of Cobbett's State Trials and is now preserved in a modern card cover for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable presentation that favours function over finery.
