THE CASE OF JANE MARIE, EXHIBITING THE CRUELTY AND BARBAROUS CONDUCT OF JAMES ROSS, TO A DEFENCELESS WOMAN. WRITTEN AND PUBLISHED BY THE OBJECT OF HIS CRUELTY AND VENGEANCE, AND ADDRESSED TO THE PUBLIC OF PHILADELPHIA AND THE WHOLE OF PENNSYLVANIA.

[Philadelphia]: Sep. 1808. 28pp, disbound, lightly tanned. Else Very Good.

Ms. Marie claims that Ross, formerly U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania, by subtle legal artifices wrested title to her home from her. Ross was running for governor in the year of this publication; the pamphlet may have been a set-up by his political opponents.
Ms. Marie enlisted the aid of the 'Aurora' and William Duane, whose anti-Federalist leanings were obvious. A two-page Appendix consists of material sent to the Aurora for publication on the matter.
