Speeches Of Lord Erskine, While At The Bar" by Thomas Erskine, Baron Erskine. This volume assembles the orator's speeches from the English bar, centered on libel trials, jury rights, and constitutional liberty in late 18th-century Britain. Blending courtroom transcripts with biographical framing, it surveys cases such as the Dean of St. Asaph libel trial, Baillie, Carnan, and proceedings involving Lord George Gordon, as well as debates around Paine's Rights of Man and the Age of Reason. A core concern is the proper balance between law and fact, and the jury's authority to consider motive, context, and constitutional context alongside publication. Erskine advances two principles: juries may render general verdicts that encompass law as well as fact, and a publication alone does not establish guilt without showing criminal intent and context. The work cites Locke, Bolingbroke, Bushell, Woodfall, Almon, Paley, Burke, Hume, Milton, and Blackstone to ground its arguments. It situates Erskine as a fearless defender of liberty and press freedom amid reformist and revolutionary pressures, foreshadowing the Libel Bill of 1792.
