Pictures and Pleadings is a book written by John Bathurst Dickson and published in 1871. The book is a collection of legal cases that Dickson had worked on during his career as a lawyer in England. Each case is accompanied by a detailed description of the legal proceedings, as well as illustrations that depict the key events in the case. The book covers a wide range of legal topics, including contract law, property law, and criminal law. Some of the cases are well-known, such as the case of R v. Dudley and Stephens, which involved the cannibalism of a shipwrecked sailor. Others are lesser-known but still fascinating, such as the case of The Queen v. Keyn, which involved the seizure of a ship by the French navy during the Crimean War.Throughout the book, Dickson provides his own analysis of the legal issues at play in each case, as well as his opinions on the outcomes. He also includes anecdotes and personal reflections on his experiences as a lawyer. Overall, Pictures and Pleadings is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of English law or the legal profession in the 19th century. The combination of detailed legal analysis and vivid illustrations makes it an engaging and accessible read.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
