SEDITIOUS PRACTICES,
" OF the many remaikable trials which
theprefent extraordinary fyftein of erimi
nal jurisprudence in G. Britain and Ireland
has brought before the public eye ; this,
certainly is most entitled to univerfai pe
rusal and attention. It devclopes, more
fully than any publication extant, the lat

tton ; and proves inconteftibly, thatjudi '
cial prosecutions (or persecutions( and de
cifiotjs are now more the relult of the pre
sent order of things, than any old fafhion
ed attachment to the laws or the conftitu
tion. Add to this, that it holds up to the
wonder and admiration of mankind, the
the firm, manly, and patriotic conduct of
this devoted victim—this ' Second Sydney,'
as he has justly and deservedly been called;
who in the cou'rfe of one of the longest tri
als we know of, unassisted even by a finglc
member of the long robe, evinced such a
depth of legal and constitutional know
ledge and, in a speech of four hours
length, displayed such a blaze of eloquence
and firft rat« abilities, as astonished
the court—and, ft range to relate ! even
drew involuntary applause from the venal
and time-serving creature of a corrupt go
