JOHANN PHILIPP See also:PALM (1768-1806) , See also:German bookseller, a victim of See also:Napoleonic tyranny in See also:Germany, was See also:born at Schorndorf, in See also:Wurttemberg, on the 17th of See also:November 1768 . Having been apprenticed to his See also:uncle, the publisher Johann See also:Jakob See also:Palm (1750-1826), in See also:Erlangen, he married the daughter of the bookseller See also:Stein in See also:Nuremberg, and in course of See also:time became proprietor of his See also:father-in-See also:law's business . In the See also:spring of 18o6 the See also:firm of Stein sent to the See also:bookselling See also:establishment of See also:Stage in See also:Augsburg a pamphlet (presumably written by Philipp See also:Christian Yelin in See also:Ansbach) entitled Deutschland in seiner tiefen Erniedrigung (" Germany in her deep humiliation "), which strongly attacked See also:Napoleon and the behaviour of the See also:French troops in See also:Bavaria . Napoleon, on being apprised of the violent attack made upon his regime and failing to discover the actual author, had Palm arrested and handed over to a military See also:commission at See also:Braunau on the Bavarian-See also:Austrian frontier, with See also:peremptory instructions to try and execute the prisoner within twenty-four See also:hours . Palm was denied the right of See also:defence, and after a See also:mock trial on the 25th of See also:August 1806 he was shot on the following See also:day . A See also:life-See also:size See also:bronze statue was erected to his memory in Braunau in 1866, and on the See also:centenary of his See also:death numerous patriotic meetings were held in Bavaria .
