*** This book is 

 presented to the pub- 

 lic at a time when 

 popular attention is 

 attracted to the sub- 

 ject of which it 

 treats ; but it is in- 

 tended much less to 

 gratify a temporary 

 curiosity than to fill 

 an empty page in 

 our literature. In 

 our own and in other 

 countries Claimants 

 have been by no 

 means rare, and the 

 inthor has spared 

 10 research to render 

 'tis work as perfect 

 as possible, and to 

 supply a reliable 



history of those cases which are entitled to rank as causes celebres. The book 

 is put forward in ike hope that, while it may serve to amuse the hasty reader in 

 a leisure hour, it may also be deemed worthy of a modest resting-place in the 

 libraries of those who like to watch the march of events, and who have the prudent 

 habit, when information is found, of preserving a note of it.
