prejudicial to their best interests。 The Court will be composed of a
political gentleman�察�sitting in a secluded room commanding a view of St。
James's Park�察�who has already more to do than any human creature can�察�by
any stretch of the human imagination�察�be supposed capable of doing。
2。 The jury to consist of Five Thousand Five Hundred and Fifty´five
Volunteers。
3。 The jury to be strictly prohibited from seeing either the accused or
the witnesses。 They are not to be sworn。 They are on no account to
hear the evidence。 They are to receive it�察�or such representations of it�察�as
may happen to fall in their way�察 �and they will constantly write letters
about it to all the Papers。
4。 Supposing the trial to be a trial for Murder by poisoning�察 �and
supposing the hypothetical case�察 �or the evidence�察 �for the prosecution to
charge the administration of two poisons�察�say Arsenic and Antimony�察�and
supposing the taint of Arsenic in the body to be possible but not probable�察�
and the presence of Antimony in the body�察�to be an absolute certainty�察�it
will then become the duty of the jury to confine their attention solely to
the Arsenic�察�and entirely to dismiss the Antimony from their minds。
5。 The symptoms preceding the death of the real offender ��or
Murdered Person�� being described in evidence by medical practitioners
who saw them�察�other medical practitioners who never saw them shall be
required to state whether they are inconsistent with certain known
diseasesbut�察 �THEY SHALL NEVER BE ASKED WHETHER THEY

ARE NOT EXACTLY CONSISTENT WITH THE ADMINISTRATION
OF POISON。 To illustrate this enactment in the proposed Bill by a case�此�
A raging mad dog is seen to run into the house where Z lives alone�察�
foaming at the mouth。 Z and the mad dog are for some time left together
in that house under proved circumstances�察 �irresistibly leading to the
conclusion that Z has been bitten by the dog。 Z is afterwards found lying
on his bed in a state of hydrophobia�察�and with the marks of the dog's teeth。
Now�察�the symptoms of that disease being identical with those of another
disease called Tetanus�察�which might supervene on Z's running a rusty nail
into a certain part of his foot�察�medical practitioners who never saw Z�察�shall
bear testimony to that abstract fact�察�and it shall then be incumbent on the
Registrar´General to certify that Z died of a rusty nail。
It is hoped that these alterations in the present mode of procedure will
not only be quite satisfactory to the accused person ��which is the first great
consideration���察�but will also tend�察�in a tolerable degree�察�to the welfare and
safety of society。 For it is not sought in this moderate and prudent
measure to be wholly denied that it is an inconvenience to Society to be
poisoned overmuch。
LEIGH HUNT�此 �A REMONSTRANCE
;The sense of beauty and gentleness�察 �of moral beauty and faithful
gentleness�察�grew upon him as the clear evening closed in。 When he went
to visit his relative at Putney�察�he still carried with him his work�察�and the
books he more immediately wanted。 Although his bodily powers had
been giving way�察�his most conspicuous qualities�察�his memory for books�察�
and his affection remained�察�and when his hair was white�察�when his ample
chest had grown slender�察 �when the very proportion of his height had
visibly lessened�察�his step was still ready�察�and his dark eyes brightened at
every happy expression�察�and at every thought of kindness。 His death was
simply exhaustion�察 �he broke off his work to lie down and repose。 So
gentle was the final approach�察�that he scarcely recognised it till the very
last�察 �and then it came without terrors。 His physical suffering had not

been severe�察�at the latest hour he said that his only uneasiness was failing
breath。 And that failing breath was used to express his sense of the
inexhaustible kindness he had received from the family who had been so
unexpectedly made his nurses��to draw from one of his sons�察�by minute�察�
eager�察 �and searching questions�察 �all that he could learn about the latest
vicissitudes and growing hopes of Italy��to ask the friends and children
around him for news of those whom he loved��and to send love and
messages to the absent who loved him。;
Thus�察 �with a manly simplicity and filial affection�察 �writes the eldest
son of Leigh Hunt in recording his father's death。 These are the closing
words of a new edition of The Autobiography of Leigh Hunt�察�published by
Messrs。 Smith and Elder�察 �of Cornhill�察 �revised by that son�察 �and enriched
with an introductory chapter of remarkable beauty and tenderness。 The
son's first presentation of his father to the reader�察 �rather tall�察�straight as an
arrow�察�looking slenderer than he really was�察�his hair black and shining�察�and
slightly inclined to wave�察�his head high�察�his forehead straight and white�察�
his eyes black and sparkling�察�his general complexion dark�察 �in his whole
carriage and manner an extraordinary degree of life�察─ �completes the
picture。 It is the picture of the flourishing and fading away of man that is
born of a woman and hath but a short time to live。
In his presentation of his father's moral nature and intellectual qualities�察�
Mr Hunt is no less faithful and no less touching。 Those who knew Leigh
Hunt�察�will see the bright face and hear the musical voice again�察�when he is
recalled to them in this passage�此 �Even at seasons of the greatest
depression in his fortunes�察�he always attracted many visitors�察�but still not
so much for any repute that attended him as for his personal qualities。
Few men were more attractive�察�in society�察�whether in a large company or
over the fireside。 His manners were peculiarly animated�察 �his
conversation�察�varied�察�ranging over a great field of subjects�察�was moved and
called forth by the response of his companion�察 �be that companion
philosopher or student�察�sage or boy�察�man or woman�察�and he was equally
ready for the most lively topics or for the gravest reflectionshis
expression easily adapting itself to the tone of his companion's mind。
With much freedom of manners�察�he combined a spontaneous courtesy that

never failed�察�and a considerateness derived from a ceaseless kindness of
heart that invariably fascinated even strangers。; Or in this�此 �His
animation�察�his sympathy with what was gay and pleasurable�察�his avowed
doctrine of cultivating cheerfulness�察 �were manifest on the surface�察 �and
could be appreciated by those who knew him in society�察 �most probably
even exaggerated as salient traits�察�on which he himself insisted WITH A
SORT OF GAY AND OSTENTATIOUS WILFULNESS。;
The last words describe one of the most captivating peculiarities of a
most original and engaging man�察�better than any other words could。 The
reader is besought to observe them�察 �for a reason that shall presently be
given。 Lastly�此 �The anxiety to recognise the right of others�察 �the
tendency to 'refine'�察�which was noted by an early school companion�察�and
the propensity to elaborate every thought�察�made him�察�along with the direct
argument by which he sustained his own conviction�察�recognise and almost
admit all that might be said on the opposite side;。 For these reasons�察�and
for others suggested with equal felicity�察 �and with equal fidelity�察 �the son
writes of the father�察 �It is most desirable that his qualities should be known
as they were�察�for such deficiencies as he had are the honest explanation of
his mistakes�察 �while�察 �as the reader may see from his writings and his
conduct�察 �they are not�察 �as the faults of which he was accused would be�察�
incompatible with the noblest faculties both of head and heart。 To know
Leigh Hunt as he was�察�was to hold him in reverence and love。;
These quotations are made here�察�with a special object。 It is not�察�that
the personal testimony of one who knew Leigh Hunt well�察�may be borne to
their truthfulness。 It is not�察�that it may be recorded in these pages�察�as in
his son's introductory chapter�察 �that his life was of the most amiable and
domestic kind�察�that his wants were few�察�that his way of life was frugal�察�that
he was a man of small expenses�察�no ostentations�察�a diligent labourer�察�and a
secluded man of letters。 It is not�察�that the inconsiderate and forgetful may
be reminded of his wrongs and sufferings in the days of the Regency�察�and
of the national disgrace of his
