This is Volume 1 of "The Speeches of the Hon. Thomas Erskine (Now Lord Erskine), When at the Bar, On Subjects Connected With the Liberty of the Press; Against Constructive Treasons, and On Miscellaneous Subjects." This collection presents a selection of the notable speeches delivered by Thomas Erskine, a prominent British barrister and politician, renowned for his eloquent defenses of individual liberties and his advocacy for legal reform.
The speeches included in this volume focus particularly on Erskine's arguments concerning the liberty of the press, his opposition to expansive interpretations of treason laws, and his commentary on various other significant issues of his time. These speeches offer valuable insights into the political and legal landscape of late 18th and early 19th century Britain, reflecting the era's debates over freedom of expression, governmental power, and the rights of citizens.
