William Beach Lawrence edited two editions of Henry Wheaton's Elements of International Law. Dana then the U.S. District Attorney for Massachusetts was the editor of a later edition. Lawrence accused Dana of plagiarism and initiated a copyright lawsuit that lasted 13 years. The court supported Lawrence in minor matters such as the arrangement of notes and verification of citations but maintained that Dana's notes were original. The trial brought together some of the finest legal minds of the era including Curtis the former U.S. Supreme Court justice who had dissented in the Dred Scott Case and then resigned from the Court.

Hunter an American doctor had antagonized English doctors by claiming to have developed a better set of therapies to treat the tuberculosis. A shrewd self-promoter he publicized his views widely and attracted a large number of patients. He had several critics. One of them published an article attacking him in the Pall Mall Gazette titled "Dupes and Imposters." Hunter sued. After many hours of medical testimony the jury "vindicated" Hunter but awarded him only 1 farthing in damages. This contemptuous award indicated that the jury considered him a charlatan.

The Tirrell case is one of the triumphs of Rufus Choate who convinced the jury that his client did not cut the throat of Mrs. Bickford or if he did he did it in his sleep. The defense of somnambulism by Choate might well join that other classic of defense put forth by Delphin Michael Delmas who as counsel for Harry K. Thaw pleaded 'dementia Americana'" McDade. McDade says most of this account is "pure fiction but there are some facts on the crime." OCLC locates no non-virtual copies of this imprint.
