London: Printed at New York: by order of his Excellency the Lord Cornbury and reprinted at London, 1703. 2° (306 x 188 mm). 32 pages. (title lined on verso with thin transparent tissue not affecting readability of text, marginal repaired tears, some pale browning). Modern calf-backed marbled boards. FIRST ENGLISH (AND EARLIEST OBTAINABLE) EDITION ON ONE OF THE EARLIEST AMERICAN JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS . Nicholas Bayard, nephew of Peter Stuyvesant, was a mayor of New York and a member of the governor's council. When Jacob Leisler seized control of the government of New York in 1689, Bayard was a prime target. He fled to Albany, but was seized there and brought back to the fort and imprisoned. Governor Sloughter arrived from England and had Bayard released, but in 1697 the new governor Bellomont accused Bayard of complicity with the previous governor in the encouragement and protection of pirates. He was tried for high treason, and sentenced to be hanged, drawn and quartered. This work includes the entire text of the 1701/2 proceedings. The first edition was printed in New York in 1702 and is unobtainable. This English edition contains additional text and is almost as scarce. American Book Prices Current records no copies at auction in at least the last 35 years. Alden & Landis 703/12; Church 809; Howes B256; Ritz 1.05(2c); Sabin 53436.
