A Notable Libel Case: The Criminal Prosecution Of Theodore Lyman, Jr. By Daniel Webster In The Supreme Judicial Court Of Massachusetts (1904) is a historical account of a significant libel case that took place in Massachusetts in the early 19th century. The book is written by Josiah Henry Benton Jr. and focuses on the criminal prosecution of Theodore Lyman Jr., a prominent Boston businessman, who was accused of publishing a libelous statement about a fellow businessman. The case was significant because it was one of the first criminal prosecutions for libel in the United States and was argued by the famous lawyer and politician, Daniel Webster. Benton Jr. provides a detailed account of the trial, including the arguments made by both sides, the evidence presented, and the verdict. The book also provides historical context for the case, including the legal and social attitudes towards libel at the time, as well as the personal and professional backgrounds of the individuals involved. Overall, A Notable Libel Case is a fascinating look at a pivotal moment in American legal history and the role of libel in shaping public discourse.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
