Excerpt from Celebrated Trials of All Countries: And Remarkable Cases of Criminal Jurisprudence It is believed that the collection supplies a striking deficiency in the library of the lawyer, physician, and, general reader. Much care and caution have been exercised in the compilation, to make it not only an acceptable but a necessary adjunct to the books already accessible, and the reader is confidently referred to the table of contents for the evidence of the variety and value of the materials. Should this work meet with public approbation, it is the design of the publishers to issue other volumes in succession, for which the most ample matter has been accumulated to this end many distinguished jurists have voluntarily offered to contribute the most remarkable cases which have come under their observa tion. The present may therefore be considered an avant courier of much that deeply concerns the American reader. No expense will be spared in completing a design having for its object the preservation of separate trials, which, by being scattered in every possible shape, are too often entirely lost, or of difficult access.
