4 Celebrated Trials, and Remarkable Cases of Criminal Jurisprudence, from the Earliest Records to the Year 1825 1825

handle is hein.trials/celtri0004 and id is 1 raw text is: '~w i~uKA it1 O TRIALS' AND UI marktabIe 02aoe OF CRIMINAL JURISPRUDENCE. FROM THE EARLIEST RECORDS TO THE YEAR 1825. Taa Annals of Criminal Jurisprudence exhibit human nature in a variety of positions, at once the most striking, interesting, and affecting. They present tragedies of real life, often heightened in their effect by the grossness of the in. justice, and the malignity of the prejudices which accompanied them. At the same 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 ismguage contains no book like the Causes Celebre of the French, particularly as the openness of our proceedings renders the records mote certain and accessible, 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 eases of the continental at-.3ni, would exhibit man as he is in action and in principle, and not a he is aiualiy drawn by poets and speculatire philosophers. BRasE. IN SIX VOLUMES. VOL. IV. LONDON: PRINTED FOR KNIGHT AND LACEY, PATE RNOSTER-ROW. 1825. Price £3 12s. in Boards.
