Synopsis
Excerpt from The Deformity of the Doctrine of Libels: And Informations Ex Officio, With a View of the Case of the Dean of Saint Asaph, and an Enquiry Into the Rights of Jurymen, in a Letter to the Honourable Thomas Erskine
The doctrine Of libels was firf'c prac-s ticed among us in that accurfed court, the Star Chamber, grounded on the prin ciples Of the imperial, or more properly called the flavifh law. Nothing appears of it in our books, beyond the days Of Elizabeth, and Sir Edward Coke; but enough is fince to be found in them, down' to the trial Of the Dean Of St. Afaph, to glut the patience of the mopt moderate reader, and ficken him with the effects.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex world of libels and the contentious doctrine surrounding them. The author challenges the prevailing notion that a libel is solely dependent on its tendency to incite violence, arguing that this definition is flawed and susceptible to abuse by authorities. The author delves into the historical evolution of libel law, tracing its roots back to the oppressive Star Chamber court, and asserts that the current doctrine has been weaponized to suppress free speech and protect the interests of those in power. Drawing upon numerous examples, the author meticulously deconstructs the fallacies and dangers inherent in the existing libel doctrine, exposing its potential for silencing dissent and undermining fundamental freedoms. This book is a compelling and thought-provoking examination of a pressing issue, offering valuable insights into the delicate balance between freedom of expression and the preservation of public order. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330320723_0
