NOTICE.

BY the present volume, this Series of State Trials (termi-
nating with the Reign of his late Majesty) is brought to a close;
nor is there, at the present moment, any intention to continue the
publication of Modern State Trials to a more recent period.
Availing themselves, therefore, of the opportunity which thus
presents itself, the Publishers have completed their arrangements
for the early appearance of a GENERAL DIGESTED INDEX,
embracing the contents as well of the First as of the Second
Series.

In selecting from the very numerous cases which fall under
the denomination of State Trials, those which form the Second
Series, care has been taken to reject none the omission of which
would be inconsistent with the general object of the work. Of
those which have been omitted, some did not appear to be of
sufficient importance to counterbalance the inconvenience of the
great extension of the work which their insertion would have
occasioned; and others, in so far as relates to material points,
are fully reported elsewhere.
