Excerpt from American State Trials, Vol. 1: A Collection of the Important and Interesting Criminal Trials Which Have Taken Place in the United States, From the Beginning of Our Government to the Present Day; With Notes and Annotations
But to others besides the judge and lawyer this work will have an almost equal value. The writer and the reader of history will find here abundant material for study and investigation. Just as in the State Trials of England the English historian has found a never failing source of material in writing the history of his country, so the American historian of the future will find in this series a record of the lives, the customs and manners of the American people which has hitherto been closed to him.
