Ways of the Hour

by James Fenimore Cooper

English· 17:52:03· 31 chapters
Originally written shortly before Cooper's death and published posthumously, The Ways of the Hour examines the social evils of the criminal justice system. In particular, it looks at how the jury system, which acts as a check on centralized power in a monarchy, has the opposite effect in a democracy. - Summary by LynneT
