Westminster and Foreign Quarterly Review, 1847. Softcover (Booklet - Unbound Pages). Very Good Condition. Item #375095
19 pages. A detailed reconsideration of the trial of the Earl of Somerset for the poisoning of Sir Thomas Overbury. The article revisits the evidence, court proceedings, and political factions surrounding the case. It weighs the credibility of contemporary witnesses and pamphleteers, and reflects on how reputation and power shaped the outcome. The piece offers a sober Victorian reassessment of a notorious Jacobean scandal. An authentic standalone article, extracted from a larger volume. Not a reprint or reproduction, but an original work in its own right. Preserved in a modern card cover, prepared for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable presentation that favours function over finery. Size: 18 x 26 cms. Category: Foreign Quarterly Review; Special Interest.
