Overview

"The trial was formally instituted by Theodore Tilton against Beecher charging him with 'debauching' his wife. But the allegedly debauched wide sided with Beecher denying the accusation under oath. By vociferously defending Beecher's honor, she lent some credibility to the charge that she loved him. In reality, the suit had been demanded by the press which published daily accounts of the accusations and counteraccusations so that the eager members of the public could judge for themselves." - introduction; Privately printed for members, this volume with blue leather binding features gilt decoration on covers and spine, three bands on spine, gilt page edges, attached blue ribbon bookmarker, and marbled endpages.
