Excerpt from Illegality of the Trial of John W. Webster Dr. Webster was not tried by a legal jury; but by a jury packed, by the court, either with a view to a more easy conviction than could otherwise be obtained, or with a view to a conviction which otherwise could not be obtained at all. The jury was packed by excluding from the panel three persons, on account of their opposition to capital punishment, and substituting in their stead three persons not thus opposed. That opposition, it was supposed by the court, (and correctly too, of course), would either render the persons entertain ing it less ready to convict the defendant, than they otherwise would be 5 or would prevent them from convicting at all, whatever the evidence might be. But exclusion for either or both of these reasons is illegal. If the punishment prescribed by statute, be such as to disincline, or deter, the minds or con sciences of the men drawn as jurors, from a convie tion, the statute must fail of execution, rather than the jury be packed to avoid that obstacle.

The Complete Works of Lysander Spooner is a collection of essays, letters, and legal arguments written by the renowned libertarian thinker. Spooner's writing is characterized by its clear and logical arguments, making complex ideas accessible to the general reader. In the context of 19th century American literature, Spooner's work stands out for its radical views on individual rights and limited government. His criticism of the Constitution and belief in natural law set him apart from his contemporaries. The collection covers a wide range of topics including abolitionism, free trade, and the right to self-defense. Overall, the book provides a comprehensive overview of Spooner's important contributions to political philosophy. Lysander Spooner, a self-taught lawyer and political theorist, was a prominent figure in the American libertarian movement. His experiences with the legal system and his strong belief in individual liberty motivated him to write and advocate for his controversial ideas. Spooner's uncompromising stance on individual rights and limited government inspired generations of libertarians and anarchists. I recommend The Complete Works of Lysander Spooner to anyone interested in political philosophy, libertarianism, or American history. Spooner's writings offer a unique perspective on the role of government and the rights of individuals, making this collection an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the roots of American libertarian thought.
