""An Essay On The Trial By Jury"" is a book written by Lysander Spooner that explores the history and importance of the jury system in the United States. Spooner argues that the right to trial by jury is essential to protecting individual rights and preventing government tyranny. He discusses the origins of the jury system, its role in protecting individual liberties, and its importance in ensuring justice in the legal system. Spooner also critiques the existing legal system and proposes reforms to strengthen the role of the jury. This book is a thought-provoking analysis of the jury system and its role in protecting individual rights and freedoms.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.
