""An Essay on the Trial by Jury"" is a book written by Lysander Spooner, an American political philosopher and abolitionist. In this book, Spooner argues that the jury system is an essential component of a free society and that it should be protected and strengthened. He contends that the jury system is the best way to ensure that justice is served, as it allows ordinary citizens to participate in the legal process and to hold the government accountable. Spooner also critiques the traditional view of the jury as a mere fact-finding body and argues that jurors have the power to nullify unjust laws. He further discusses the history and evolution of the jury system, its role in protecting individual rights, and its potential to safeguard against government tyranny. Overall, ""An Essay on the Trial by Jury"" is a thought-provoking and persuasive defense of the jury system and its importance in a free society.That the legislation of the king was of no authority over a jury, is further proved by the oath taken by the kings at their coronation. This oath seems to have been substantially the same, from the time of the Saxon kings, down to the seventeenth century, as will be seen from the authorities hereafter given.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
