Reviews

Professors Rushton and Morgan have a crafted a valuable and fascinating survey of the laws of treason and sedition as they developed in the multiple jurisdictions of the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century British empire. * Carlton F.W. Larson, Martin Luther King, Jr. Professor of Law, UC Davis School of Law, USA * Rushton and Morgan have written an imaginative and innovative book which adds a new dimension to the history of the linked issues of treason and rebellion over the period it covers. They are to be especially congratulated in showing how the phenomena differed in the various parts of Britain's 'Atlantic World', and how reactions to them differed according to geographical and chronological contexts. * James Sharpe, Professor Emeritus of Early Modern History, University of York, UK *
