Orfila,né en Espagne et mort à Paris, est considéré comme l'inventeur de la toxicologie. Il s'est acquis une grande réputation par la publication de son Traité de médecine légale, maintes fois réédité dans lequel il expose notamment de nouveaux moyens de détecter l'arsenic. Sa renommée fit de lui un acteur décisif dans le procès Lafarge, célèbre affaire criminelle. Marie Lafarge était en effet accusée d'avoir empoisonné son époux. L'expertise d'Orfila, qui assura avoir trouvé des traces d'arsenic dans le corps de la victime, fut alors déterminante, semblant fournir la preuve d'un empoisonnement criminel.Marie Lafarge fut reconnue coupable, condamnée aux travaux forcés et à l'exposition. Dans ce texte paru un an après le procès, Orfila a inclus des extraits de rapports de l'Académie Royale de la Médecine et de l'Académie des Sciences soutenant ses conclusions sur la détection de l'arsenic, ainsi que sa propre réfutation des arguments de Magendie et Gerdy sur le sujet.

br. d’attente, non rogné, (couv. fanée, dos lég. abîmé avec qq. mq., qq. rousseurs) « Je n’ai jamais été, je ne serai jamais le partisan ou le stipendiaire des ennemis de ma patrie ; je suis Français, et je m’honore de l’être : tous mes vœux ont été pour la gloire, pour la prospérité de la France ; toute ma haine a été vouée à ce cabinet qui trafique depuis huit ans des malheurs de l’Europe, à ce cabinet instigateur de tant de troubles et machinateur de tant de crimes ; et si j’ai approché les princes français dans l’intention et l’espérance de servir ma patrie, je me suis éloigné d’eux, plein de ce mépris qu’inspireront toujours des hommes qui comptent sur les droits de leur naissance, et non pas sur leur courage ou sur leurs qualités personnelles, pour rentrer dans un empire dont leurs courtisans et leurs flatteurs dévoreraient bientôt la substance et perpétueraient les désastres. La vérité m’obligera à dire ce que la modération de mon esprit me porterait à taire ; je ne puis ni ne veux rien celer. Qu’on blâme cet écrit, ou qu’on l’approuve, j’aurai rempli mon devoir ; j’aurai laissé à ma patrie un gage de mon amour pour elle ; et ces lignes, j’ose du moins l’espérer, défendront ma mémoire contre les atteintes de la calomnie ou de la haine. »

Quatre procès politiques. Les deux premiers prennent place dans le contexte de la difficile installation de la Monarchie de Juillet, alors que l'agitation légitimiste et républicaine semble menacer le nouveau régime. Les affaires relatives aux troubles de l'Ouest se déroulent dans le contexte des prétentions de la Duchesse de Berry à la Régence. Le procès des vingt-sept revient sur l'insurrection républicaine de 1832 et le rôle joué par la Société des Droits de l'Homme, d'inspiration jacobine et qui réunit étudiants et ouvriers.Le populaire, qui relate le procès, est le journal fondé par Cabet en 1833 pour la diffusion des idées socialistes. Les deux dernières affaires concernent plus précisément la presse. Le procès du National, d'abord soutien du nouveau régime puispassé à l'opposition, met en cause Armand Carrel, pour un article dans lequel il a critiqué la Chambre des Pairs. Il y assure lui-même sa défense, deux ans avant de mourir des suites de son duel avec Emile de Girardin. Quant à La France, journal légitimiste, l'accusation porte sur la publication d'une correspondance et pose la question des sources des journalistes.
