Description: For the Defense: Thomas Erskine, the Most Enlightened Liberal of His Times, 1750-1823, Doubleday and Company, Inc. (1947). Fascinating biography of British Whig lawyer and politician Erskine, who's roller-coaster of a legal career included the successful defense of reformers accused of treason and libel (Thomas Paine among them), and a term as Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain. Includes an extensive bibliography and index. This hardback copy shows a few signs of wear and age, including scuff marks along the edges, and significant sun fading of the spine (see pictures). The inside front cover and early pages are tanned, and the name of a previous owner is inked on the flyleaf. The hinges are creased but intact, and the binding is tight. All interior pages are clean and unmarked. The text and illustrations are sharp and clear. Overall a very sturdy copy that will last many more years.
