CRIMINAL JURISPRUDENCE,
FROM

TO
THE YEAR ism
' TFn Annals of Criminal JurIspradence exhibit human nature in a variety of
positions, at once  the most httiking, fatereating, and affecting.  They present
tragedies of real life, often heightened in their effect by the grossness of the in.
justice, and the maligoitj of the~prejudices which accompanied them. At the same
time real culprits, as   original characters, stand forward on the canvas of
bumanity as prominent objects for our special study. I have often wondered that
the English language contains no book like the Causes Celebres of the French
particularly as the openness of our proceedings renders the records more certain and
noceesible, while our public history and domestic conflicts have afforded so many
splendid examples of the unfortunate and the guilty. Such a collection, drawn from
our own national sources, and varied by references to cases of the continental
nations, would exhibit man as he is in action and in principle, and not as he iW
usually drawn by poets and speculative philosophers.            Busai.
