BEDFORD, SYBILLE The Best We Can Do: An Account of the Trial of John Bodkin Adams
London, Collins. 1958. First edition; 8vo; original cloth boards and dust jacket. Bedford's account of the longest murder trial heard at the Old Bailey. The blurb states that 'in reading this book, we see the Law in a grain of sand; through one beautifully told, tense trial we understand the great boon which English Common Law has given us; that a man is innocent until he is proved guilty. This single concept is the rock on which our human freedom stands.' Fine, with a small book plate to the front paste down. In a very good price clipped dust jacket.
