In "Famous Trials of History." by
the Karl of Birkenhead. The book '
deals with tho trials in a popular j
fush Ion, making them of even
greater Interest to the layman than
to tho lawyer or student. The
cases re vie weil are principally
those which ramo hefuru the juries
of the Old Italley court of London.
Tho Old Italley court room was
tho scene of many a tragic ending
to promising careers. Many a
man was sent to the gallows for
crimes which enuld bo laughed out
of court In this enlightened gon
eratiou. Tho element of the un
usual and of mystery Ik streMscd
In all the cases, which Include an
account of the trial of Mary Queen
of SentH and of Captain Kidd.
The Old Hitiley court was re
cently torn down and many of the
dusty and old records were
brought to light, forming a basis
for the book. The author Is well
tiualified to Interpret his findings,
since he Is one of the famous law
yers of Lngland, the high steward

Tho plays uf Will lain limine are
primarily intended to be acted and
not to be read, no some of the be.st
portions of the plays do not get
their just emphasiH when seen be
tween the rovers of a book instead
of upon the Mluge. The most re
cent of the plays in "The Judge's
Husband," which jThut gained
prominence In !!'-."; the oldest is
"The (iuest of Honor." w htch a
few people will remember having
stirred considerable c o in in e n I
some "() years ago.
Six productions are contained In
the two volumes which com prise
the set. Including hesidcH t hose
mentioned, "lie ware of I idr.i,"
"The It mid to Happiness," Kor
All of ls," ami "Fixing Sister."
Publication of the plays in a form
more permanent t han the actor's
manual Is a worthwhile endeavor,
considering the place among popu
