State Trials, Volume I (first published in 1972) contains cases concerned with treason and the freedom of press gathered from the full edition of State Trials completed in 1826. The author has selected some of the most interesting and important trials for this volume.
The book includes a general introduction, explaining the significance of State Trials as a whole. Each selected case is then introduced by a short essay, which explains the events surrounding the trial and its importance in relation to legal history.
State Trials will always be one of the most vivid and fascinating accounts of English life in all documentary literature.
