handle is hein.trials/celtri0002 and id is 1 raw text is: CELEBRATED TRIALS A'ND i&emarkable Q57am OF CRIMINAL JURISPRUDENCE. FROM THE EARLIEST RECORDS TO THE YEAR 1825. Tiz Annals of Criminal JuTprudence exhibit human nature in a Tariety of positions, at once the most strifl~ng, interesting, and affecting. They present tragedies of real life, often heightened in tberr effect by the grossness of the in. justice, and the malignity of the prejudices which accompanied them. At the lame time real culprits, as original characters,, stand forward on the canvas of humanity 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 mole certain and accessible, while our public histoi 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 it usually drawn by poets and specuilative philosophers.
