[Rarebooks] fs-Drinking the Pretender's Health

[Joe Luttrell]

May we offer:

The Case of Mr. Patrick Haldane, Advocate: With Some Remarks upon 
His Defence.  Printed [by Thomas Ruddiman], [Edinburgh], 1723. 
Modern marbled boards, paper label, title quite dusty with pen 
squiggles, margins cut close affecting some catchwords and page 
numerals; sound. [70336 L77] PHOTO:

A hugely inflammatory polemic accusing Haldane of bribery,
corruption, "drinking the Pretender's health", and much else,
arising from his nomination to the Court of Session and resulting
in the Court's losing its veto power over those appointed to it.
