Knaresborough, Hargrove and Sons, 1808. Leather. A pleasing ninth edition of this popular work describing in depth the 1759 trail of Eugene Aram for the murder of Daniel Clark. The ninth edition of this work. A very scarce edition, with none of this ninth edition held institutionally. Collated, complete. With one page of publisher's adverts to the rear. This work is a detailed account of the 1759 trail of Eugene Aram. Aram was convicted with the 1744 murder of Daniel Clark, a shoemaker who had been an intimate friend of Aram. Clark suddenly disappeared, and whilst Aram's garden and house were searched, there was no evidence to convict him of any crime. In 1758, a skeleton was dug up at St. Robert's Cave in Knaresborough. Aram was soon after arrested, and sent to York for a trial. Aram conducted his own defence, and was found guilty, and condemned to be executed on the 6th August 1759. He confessed his guilt, and unsuccessfully attempted suicide the night before his execution. The trial and murder was a sensational news story that saw much attention. This was increased by the ballad by Thomas Hood, titled 'The Dream of Eugene Aram', and a novel by Edward Bulwer-Lytton. Aram is also referenced in works by the authors Frances Hodgson Burnett, George Orwell, and P.G. Wodehouse. In the original half calf binding with cloth to the boards. Externally, generally smart. Discolouration to the head of the front board. Rubbing to the boards and spine. Minor bumping to the extremities. A few light marks to the boards. Internally, firmly bound.
