An appeal to the humanity and generosity of a liberal-minded public occasioned by the conduct of the British government exemplified in the case of the ship Black Queen, which ship was sent from New England with a cargo of masts and spars, &c for the supply of His Majesty's fleet in the West Indies, by a licence from Admiral Arbuthnot, dated at New York in December 1782 during the American war; which said ship and cargo was seized and condemned in Jamaica, on frivolous and vexatious pretences; by which unjust proceedings the owner Benjamin Proctor was completely ruined, and who is, in consequence thereof, reduced to beggary and want

Abstract

Robert Proctor will always be remembered among bibliographers for two things: for his rearrange¬ment of the incunabula in the British Museum in what has become known as 'Proctor order', based on the way in which printing spread in its early days; and for the mystery which continues to surround his death. Born in 1868, he was appointed to the British Museum in 1891, and in 1898 he published his Index to the Early Printed Books in the British Museum. In 1899 he started to keep a private diary, and this lasted until his death in 1903. One of the volumes is missing, but the remaining three are edited and published for the first time here.

Abstract

During the Victorian era, new laws allowed more witnesses to testify in court cases. At the same time, an emerging cultural emphasis on truth-telling drove the development of new ways of inhibiting perjury. Strikingly original and drawing on a broad array of archival research, Wendie Schneider's examination of the Victorian courtroom charts this period of experimentation and how its innovations shaped contemporary trial procedure. Blending legal, social, and colonial history, she shines new light on cross-examination, the most enduring product of this time and the "greatest legal engine ever invented for the discovery of truth."
