About This Item

Paris: Pagnerre, 1844. Very Good. 119, [1] p.; 20 cm. Publisher's advertisement for Mémoire sur l'Empoisonnement par l'Arsenic by Cormenin on final page. Disbound. The trial of Madame Euphemie Lacoste (b. 1819), whose family forced her to marry her 68-year-old great uncle Henri Lacoste in 1841. When he died suddenly and his body was found to contain arsenic, she was arrested and tried for murder, along with 70-year-old schoolmaster Joseph Meilhan, to whom she had given a minor pension. They were acquitted because of insufficient evidence (the traces of arsenic in Lacoste's blood may have been due to treatment for syphilis). Very scarce. In Very Good Condition: light foxing on half title page; otherwise, clean and solid.
