A chilling glimpse into a murky corner of Georgian England unfolds with precision and humanity. A 1761 old bailey trial record comes alive, not as dry court doctrine, but as a vivid courtroom drama narrative that peers into motive, fear, and the fragile boundaries of justice. The Affecting Case Of The Unfortunate Thomas Daniels reintroduces a long-forgotten parley between law and life: a husband cast into the perilous drama of a supposed murder, a wife, a fateful fall, and a sentence that drew a royal pardon. This restoration by Alpha Editions treats the text as more than history; it is a study for historians and a compelling narrative for readers who crave both scholarship and storytelling. The volume weaves together the legal history text with cultural texture, offering insight into parliamentary pardon records and the lived stakes of 18th-century courtroom procedure. For casual readers and classic-literature collectors alike, the book offers rare access to authentic old bailey england, while inviting researchers and students to compare cases, trace legal shifting sands, and reflect on how public narratives shape memory. It's more than a reprint-it's a collector's item and a cultural treasure, revived out of print for today's generations and future scholars. A fascinating, truth-seeking panorama that stands alongside other old bailey cases in the canon of historical crime narrative.
