Excerpt from Frailties of the JuryIn Foibles of the Bench, the first volume of this series, an attempt was made by the author to illustrate some of the lighter faults frequently exhibited by occupants of the bench, and the efiect these have had upon the administration of justice. Certain abuses that have become preva lent in court proceedings were also pointed out and changes proposed to remedy them. The volume met with a kind reception from bench and bar and the public press, and was soon fol lowed by another volume, entitled Foibles of the Bar. In this were noted and illustrated some of the common mistakes of lawyers that tend to impair or prevent success at the bar, and other methods were suggested as improvements. This latter volume has met the same cordial greeting accorded to the first, and thereby has the author been encouraged to attempt the some what bolder task of writing this book upon the frailties of the jury.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
