GIBSON, John S DEACON BRODIE FATHER TO JEKYLL & HYDE
Edinburgh Paul Harris 1977 0904505243 / 9780904505245 First Edition Hardcover VG VG
158pp+illus. Label with small signature to endpaper. In the imagination of Robert Louis Stevenson, his Dr Jekyll was descended from Deacon Brodie, the infamous pillar of the Edinburgh establishment turned arch criminal. The author relates the stories of the two Edinburghs in which Brodie lived his double life - the respectable capital and the lurid underworld. His gang took part in armed robbery of the revenues of Scotland, but he escaped to London and thence to Holland. Just before he embarked for America, he was seized and taken to stand trial before Lord Braxfield, perhaps Scotland's most famous criminal judge. In his Foreword Lord Cameron brings out the high importance of the trial and his respect for the great Braxfield. Includes Bibliography and Index.
