Mrs. Brown On The Tichborne Case is a book written by Arthur Sketchley in 1872. The book is a satirical take on the infamous Tichborne case, which was a legal dispute in England during the 19th century. The case revolved around a man named Arthur Orton, who claimed to be the long-lost heir to the Tichborne estate. The Tichborne family, however, disputed his claim and the case went to trial.The book is written in the form of a series of letters from a fictional character named Mrs. Brown to her friend Mrs. Jones. Mrs. Brown is a working-class woman who is fascinated by the Tichborne case and follows it closely in the newspapers. In her letters, she provides a humorous commentary on the various characters involved in the case, including Arthur Orton, the Tichborne family, and the lawyers on both sides.Sketchley’s book is a satire of the Tichborne case and the legal system in general. He uses Mrs. Brown’s letters to poke fun at the absurdities of the case and the eccentricities of the people involved. The book was a popular success at the time of its publication and is still considered a classic of Victorian humor today.Overall, Mrs. Brown On The Tichborne Case is a witty and entertaining look at one of the most famous legal disputes in English history. It offers a unique perspective on the case from the point of view of a working-class woman, and is a must-read for anyone interested in Victorian humor or legal history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
