"The Trial Of Joseph Gerrald" meticulously recounts the legal proceedings against Joseph Gerrald, a delegate from the London Corresponding Society to the British Convention, held before the High Court of Justiciary in Edinburgh in March 1794. Charged with sedition, Gerrald's trial offers a detailed glimpse into the political tensions and legal battles of the late 18th century.
Taken in shorthand by Mr. Ramsey, this transcript captures the arguments, testimonies, and judicial pronouncements that shaped the outcome of this landmark case. The book serves as a valuable resource for historians, legal scholars, and anyone interested in the history of political dissent and the evolution of legal practices in Britain.
