AND
OF
CRIMINAL JURISPRUDENCE.
FROM
THE EARLIEST RECORDS
TO
THE YEAR 1825.
Tim Annals of Criminal Jurisprudence exhibit human nature in a variety or
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 language contains no book like the Causes Celef res of the French,
particularly as the openness of our proceedings renders the records more 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 cases of the continental
nations, would exhibit man as he is in action aud in principle, and not as he i,
zsually drawn by poets and speculative philosophers.              BVRKF.
