Thomas Erskine (1750-1823) was by repute one of the greatest advocates ever to appear in an English court of law. As King's Counsel he was involved in many celebrated trials, including the prosecution of John Horne Took for high treason and of Queen ­Caroline for adultery.

His other notable achievements include the defence of Thomas Paine's Rights of Man, which cost him the post of Attorney-General to the Prince of Wales. He also served as Member of Parliament for Portsmouth and for one year as Lord Chancellor. Latterly the First Baron Erskine, this absorbing book covers his rise to prominence and distinguished career at the Bar of England and Wales.

Hostettler, John: - "John Hostettler is one of the UK's leading legal biographers. He was a practising solicitor in London for thirty-five years as well as undertaking political and civil liberties cases in Nigeria, Germany and Aden. His earlier books include several biographical and historical works and his books for Waterside Press include: Sir William Garrow (2010); The Criminal Jury Old and New; Fighting for Justice -The History and Origins of Adversary Trial; A History of Criminal Justice in England and Wales (2009); and Hanging in the Balance - A History of the Abolition of Capital Punishment in Britain (with Dr Brian P. Block)."
