Description

Life and Adventures (The) of Isaac Solomons, The Notorious Receiver of Stolen Goods, Better Known as Ikey Solomons..., hand-coloured woodcut illustration to title, advertisement to verso of final f., disbound, Universal Pamphleteer, [?1830] § Sentence (The)...In the Extraordinary Cause between Abraham Payba, alias James Roberts, Plaintiff; and Edward Wortley Montagu, and Theobald Taaffe..., title with small ink inscription and very small marginal hole to head, couple tiny marginal nicks, some browning and very light foxing, modern vellum, slightly toned, for J. Robinson, 1752 § Remarks on the Sentence Given in Favour of E- W- M- and T- T-, Esqs; By the L-t C-l at Paris, woodcut ornament to title and tail-piece, omitted names to title supplied in early ink manuscript, title loose, disbound, for S. Johnson, 1752; and another relating to the Payba case, 8vo (4)

⁂ Born into a Jewish family in the East End, Solomons was reputedly the model for Fagin in Dickens's Oliver Twist. The other three works relate to the 1751 Parisian case between Jewish plaintiff Abraham Payba and two members of Parliament, Edward Wortley Montagu and Theobald Taaffe. Payba claimed that the men "continually plied [him] with divers sorts of wines and strong liquors, pressing and forcing him to drink". They then proceeded to cheat him out of large sums of money at cards and rob his lodgings when he refused to pay. Released on bail, Montagu and Taaffe brought counter-charges against Payba, who himself was arrested but later released.
