Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Famous Irish Trials When I accepted the invitation to write a book on famous Irish trials I did not quite realize the abundance of material available. I speedily discovered that there have been famous Irish trials enough to fill, not a book merely, but a book case full: when, embarrassed by the difficulty of selection, I consulted my friends I found, like the old donkey man in the fable, contradiction and confusion amongst my advisers. "Murders." counselled one, "there is nothing the public so love to read as a good, savage, sensational murder. A murder trial is always the most popular item in the newspapers, that´s why detective stories are attractive, they generally begin or end with a murder." "Take my advice, old man," advised another, "don´t make a second-class Newgate Calendar of your book. Drop murders. The taste that sets people reading murder trials and visiting the Chamber of Horrors is morbid and oughtn´t to be encouraged. Budge and Toddy in Helen´s Babies deserved a spanking for their ´blugginess.´ What you are after is innocent enjoyment for your readers, ´to give delight and hurt not,´ and all that sort of thing. Pitch them some humorous cases with an honest laugh in them. Breach of Promises, or Libel, or Slander of the light fantastic description. You´ll find lots of such trials if you hunt them up."
