The Trial Of Edward Coleman: For Conspiring The Death Of The King And The Subversion Of The Government Of England

""The Trial of Edward Coleman: For Conspiring the Death of the King and the Subversion of the Government of England"" is a historical account of the trial of Edward Coleman, a Catholic convert and secretary to the Duke of York during the reign of King Charles II. The book, written by Coleman himself, details his arrest, imprisonment, and eventual trial for allegedly conspiring to assassinate the king and overthrow the English government. The trial, which took place in 1678, was a highly controversial and politicized event, with Coleman being accused of being part of a wider Catholic plot to overthrow the Protestant monarchy. The book provides a firsthand account of the trial proceedings, including the evidence presented by the prosecution and the defense, as well as Coleman's own defense of his innocence. It also sheds light on the political and religious tensions of the time, as well as the persecution of Catholics in England during the late 17th century. Overall, ""The Trial of Edward Coleman"" is a valuable historical document that offers insight into a pivotal moment in English history and the complex political and religious motivations behind it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
