Madison: University of Wisconsin Press, 1986. Complete set of this "groundbreaking and sharply analytical work", studying the attitude of American colonists towards British authority on several fronts, including the idea of 'rights', taxation, legislation, and legal values; Reid argues that the American rebellion involved all of these questions, not simply 'taxation without representation'. Reid (1930-2022) was a long-time professor of law at NYU and a respected legal historian. Hardcovers in jackets, as pictured; all are first editions (first printings), either so stated or with full number strings. Books lightly rubbed & bumped; jackets show light wear & minor smudges, minor tanning; computer-generated name/address label of UW scholar Gaspare "Sal" Saladino on each free front endsheet; flap hinges of each volume badly faded, volume 4's is rubbed; page 213/214 of volume 2 has a short tear, mended with decent but not archival tape. Dates of publication & ISBNs: 1986, 0299108708; 1987, 029911290x; 1991, 1299130703; 1993, 0299139808. Texts clean; ix, blank, 374; x, 419; ix, blank, 495; viii, 279 pages; acknowledgements(revealing a curious fascination with the coyotes apparently infesting the grounds at the Huntington Library, and Franklin Pierce) index, notes, & short title bibliography in each volume. .

Description:
London, 1679 This trial was a consequence of the Popish Plot. Sir George Wakeman ( physician to the Queen), William Marshall , William Rumley and James Corker ( Benedictine Monks), were accused by Titus Oates and others of conspiring to murder King Charles II. They were tried on 18 July 1679 and acquitted after the jury had been instructed that it could not find them guilty of misprision of high treason (ie having knowledge but without necessarily involvement in the offence). After the trial Wakeman left the country and Rumley was found to be a lay brother. However Marshall and Corker were promptly rearrested for being priests; although convicted and sentenced to death they were not executed but were imprisoned until the accession of James 11 in 1685 . pp (4) + 84. Internally very good subject to some inoffensive marking and staining. Recently rebound in quarter leather.
