Summary "State Trials, Political and Social. Volume 2 (of 2)" by Harry Lushington Stephen is a historical account compiled in the late 19th century. This work presents a detailed analysis and selection of significant state trials that reflect political and social tensions of its time. The contents include the trials of notable figures, like Lord Russell, which exemplify the struggles between authority and dissent during a tumultuous period in British history. At the start of the volume, the trial of Lord Russell is outlined, showcasing critical events during Charles II's reign. Russell faces charges of high treason for allegedly conspiring to depose the king and inciting rebellion. The opening portion details the proceedings, the witnesses' testimonies, and Russell's defense, illustrating the complexities of the political alliances and conspiracies of the time. It highlights the power dynamics at play, revealing how the legal system was often wielded as a tool of the ruling elite to suppress dissent and maintain control.
