High-Treason: The Trials At Large Of Arthur Thistlewood, James Watson, Thomas Preston, John Hooper, For High Treason (1817) is a book written by an anonymous author who identifies themselves as A Gentleman Of The Bar. The book recounts the trials of four men who were accused of high treason in 1817. The four men, Arthur Thistlewood, James Watson, Thomas Preston, and John Hooper, were members of a group called the Spencean Philanthropists. This group was a radical political organization that advocated for the overthrow of the British government and the establishment of a democratic republic. The book provides a detailed account of the trials of these men, including the evidence presented against them, the arguments made by their defense attorneys, and the verdicts of the juries. The author also provides background information on the political climate of the time, including the economic and social conditions that led to the rise of radical political movements like the Spencean Philanthropists. Overall, High-Treason: The Trials At Large Of Arthur Thistlewood, James Watson, Thomas Preston, John Hooper, For High Treason (1817) is a fascinating historical document that sheds light on a little-known chapter in British history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of radical politics and the struggle for democracy in Britain.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
