On the Trial by Jury
From the introductory NOTE.

Starkie's well-known article on the "Trial by Jury" was published in the Law Review in August, 1845. It early attracted the notice of scholars, and it has been praised and relied upon by the best English and German writers on the subject of which it treats.1 Messrs. Little, Brown, & Co. have now kindly consented to reprint it, - for the convenience, primarily, of the classes in evidence at the Law School of Harvard University.

This article is but a fragment, yet, having regard to the writer's main purpose, I know of nothing upon the subject, within so small a compass, which is so well worth reading. Had time permitted, some notes would now have been added, containing further illustrations and connecting Starkie's researches with others of a more recent date; but since it was impracticable to do all that I wished, I have preferred to leave the article precisely as it was left by the author.

About the Author

Thomas Starkie (2 January 1782 – 15 April 1849) was an English lawyer and jurist. A talented mathematician in his youth, he especially contributed to the unsuccessful attempts to codify the English criminal law in the nineteenth century. In 1823 he became Downing Professor of law at Cambridge though he had little success in attracting pupils with his poor presentations, a fate shared with his contemporary John Austin. However, in 1833, Starkie was appointed to the royal commission on a proposed English Criminal Code and spent the rest of his life on various commissions on reform and codification of the criminal law. He was not always popular with his colleagues, Henry Bellenden Ker calling him "childish" and "desultory and wayward"
