A riveting doorway into a perilous past, where a fired-up island and a chilling courtroom drama collide. An Account Of The Death Of Philip Jolin offers true-crime energy with the quiet gravity of early nineteenth century prose. This historically grounded monograph threads the murder of a father, the island policing and trials that followed, and the social contours of Georgian Jersey into a compact, readable narrative. The form blends investigation, biography, and public record to illuminate how capital punishment in Britain was administered and contested, while revealing the textures of everyday life on the Channel Islands. For readers who crave historical research with immediacy, the book delivers a clear, human-centred account that still reads with contemporary urgency. The work's significance lies in its role as a public-domain touchstone now revived by Alpha Editions. It stands as much more than a reprint: restored for today's and future generations, a collector's item and a cultural treasure for scholars, true crime enthusiasts, and lovers of historical biographies and trials alike. It appeals to casual readers drawn to compelling cases and to classic-literature collectors seeking a well-preserved piece of British heritage. A rare and accessible window into island policing, early nineteenth century prose, and the enduring fascination of historical crime narratives.
