Synopsis
Excerpt from Remarkable Trials of All Countries: Particularly of the United States, Great Britain, Ireland and France; With Notes and Speeches of Counsel
The present work is intended tosupply a deficiency which has long been felt in American literature. A collection of celebrated trials, published at such a price that they can be reached by all, must prove invaluable not only to the legal profession, but to the public generally. We have seen with what genuine interest the advent of a well-written romance is recelved among us, but in this volume we have compiled and culled out, not fictitious gems to please the fancy, but stern realities taken from the court-room - histories of crime and its deplorable results. Each trial is a Work of Wonderful interest in itself. Added to most of them are the Speeches of counsel, eloquent, learned, and famous. In the trial of Francois Benjamin Courvoisier for the murder of Lord William Russell in London. We give the speech of Mr. Charles Phillips, who defended the prisoner for his life. This speech created at the time a vast amount of speculation and criticism throughout Great Brit ain, in consequence of the knowledge which Mr. Phillips possessed of his client's guilt when delivering his masterly effort.
