This series of outstanding present-day Trials, edited by a barrister, the well known author who writes under the pseudonym of " Ephesian ", contains a full report of the proceedings at the trial, an account of the principle features of the case, and, usually, a chapter on some pertinent legal, medico-legal or historical subject. The volumes are intended not only for contemporary reading but to serve also as permanent records of the present-day machinery of justice.
