RARE 1926 Famous Trails of History/The Earl of Birkenhead Book

THIS IS A MUST FOR ANY historophile! Preface: Let me begin by an attempt to disarm an obvious criticism. This book is called “Famous Trials of History”. But it contains (it may be said) some trials in which the author was himself engaged for which it cannot be claimed that they fall into this description. This is perfectly true. And if it be asked: “Why, then do you so dignify them?” I can only reply that I was quite unable to think of a compendious title which would cover both really famous trials and others which, interesting or not, are unlikely to become historical. The treatment of the cases is throughout, untechnical, so that the narratives may easily be comprehended by laymen. They belong to very different periods of English history, some of which are now remote and curious. If they amuse an idle hour, I am content. *Publisher: Garden City Publishing Co., Inc.
