Terrors Of The Law: Being The Portraits Of Three Lawyers, Bloody Jeffreys, The Bluidy Advocate Mackenzie, The Original Weir Of Hermiston (1902) is a book written by Francis Watt. The book is a collection of three portraits of infamous lawyers from different periods of history. The first portrait is of Bloody Jeffreys, a notorious judge from the 17th century who was responsible for the execution of many people during the Bloody Assizes. The second portrait is of the Bluidy Advocate Mackenzie, a Scottish lawyer who was known for his brutal tactics and was involved in the persecution of many Covenanters in the 17th century. The final portrait is of the Original Weir of Hermiston, a fictional character created by Robert Louis Stevenson who was a judge in Scotland in the 18th century. The book provides an insight into the lives and careers of these three lawyers and their impact on the legal system of their time. It is a fascinating read for anyone interested in legal history and the darker side of the law.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
