Excerpt from Famous Trials of the Century The criminal annals of the last eighty years remain for the most part buried in the files of the daily press, and it has occurred to me that a selection from those trials, which in their day have merited the designation of causes each-es, might evoke a certain amount of interest in the general public. I have written neither for the schoolroom nor the law student, and my object has been to show that the drama of real life does not fall behind the boldest imaginative efforts of the detective novelist. The selection has been purely arbitrary; and should any measure of encouragement be afforded to the writer, there remains a rich harvest of stories ripe for the telling. One merit I venture to claim, and that is that every page in this volume has been written with the contemporary record before me.
