In den WarenkorbFirst edition, presentation copy, with a lengthy inscription by the author on the front free endpaper, presenting it to Lady Radcliffe to commemorate her victory in court against an imposter who claimed to be her cousin and threatened to discredit her honour. The legal cause célèbre to which the author refers is the Tichborne ca…se, in which a man claimed to be the long-lost son and heir to the Tichborne baronetcy, Roger Tichborne. Before his disappearance, Roger had been enamoured with his cousin, Katherine Doughty, to whom this book is inscribed. Their marriage was prohibited by her parents and Roger, distraught and frustrated, ran away to sea in 1953. The following year, when Roger was just 25, the ship he was aboard washed up off the coast of Brazil with no-one on board. The Tichborne family maintained a faint hope that their eldest son was still alive and Roger's mother, Lady Tichborne, placed adverts in papers offering a reward for verifiable news of her son's whereabouts. In 1866, after building up significant support abroad, a man from Australia arrived in London claiming to be Roger Tichborne. Lady Tichborne immediately embraced him as her son, but most of the family - including Katherine, now Lady Radcliffe by marriage - rejected his claim. Four years of dramatic and well-publicized legal disputes followed, in which the claimant asserted that he had seduced Katherine Doughty before he set sail, scandalizing the Victorian establishment. The final verdict, as Pacy notes in his inscription, found the claimant guilty of perjury and sentenced him to 14 years in prison. The Reminiscences of a Gauger is an autobiographical work rich with anecdotes of the 19th-century whisky trade. A gauger was an excise officer who collected taxes and carried out raids on illegal distilleries. Pacy published this work to support the widow and children of his son and, in both the preface and Appendix, calls for the establishment of a national fund for widows and orphans. Octavo. 20 pp. of advertisements at rear, mostly uncut, dated February 1973. Original pebble grain purple cloth over bevelled boards, sides ruled and with stamped borders in blind, front cover lettered in gilt, yellow endpapers. Spine sunned, spine ends bumped, covers a little rubbed, gutter cracked but firm at start of gathering G, fore edge foxed: a very good copy.
