Originally published in 1908, the book received a favorable reception in both the United States and England, and won a place in several colleges and law schools as a reference book, and in some instances as a sort of elementary textbook upon criminal procedure. When the book was written the author's sole intention was to present in readable form a popular account of the administration of criminal justice. Upon its publication he discovered to his surprise that it was the only book of its exact character in the English language or perhaps in any other. Reviewers pointed out that whereas there were annotated text-books of criminal procedure and isolated articles on special topics, most of them relating to the jury system, there was in existence no other sketch of criminal justice as a whole, from arrest to conviction, based upon either actual experience or hearsay. This book offers an entertaining and vivid picture of criminal procedure in the early part of this century. Arthur Cheney Train (1875-1945) was an American author who received a law degree from Harvard in 1899 and eventually became the assistant district attorney in New York City, writing numerous short stories and books (including novels) about the legal system.
