Excerpt from Narratives From Criminal Trials in Scotland, Vol. 1 of 2Under arbitrary laws, the knowledge thus ex tracted is generally retained for generations in oili cial secrecy, and may, or may not, be brought to light in subsequent ages, by persons who do not in herit the original motives for concealment. But whether found in the mouldy registers of secret ia quirica, or developed in the broad daylight of a public trial, the details of such investigations are a great mine of impressive knowledge. The contents of the following pages have been drawn from both these sources. The author o¿'ers them to the public, under the impression that they develop remarkable social conditions, and throw new light on the secret im pulses of historical events, but whether he has thus formed a just conclusion, is a question for others to decide.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
