Note 3 — Chapter XVII · “THE OUTCRY AGAINST ME IS LOUDER THAN EVER.”
Reading edition
Mr. Howell was a barrister, and a very fair lawyer, but had no taste for practice at the bar. He pursued this task with the State Trials until his death in 1817, after which date it was carried on to completion by his son. It eventually reached thirty-four volumes in royal 8vo. The enterprise passed into the hands of Hansard, about the year 1810.
