This book is a collection of letters written by the author to a political figure of the time, discussing the matter of libel and the role of the courts in determining what constitutes a libelous statement. The author argues that the courts have overstepped their bounds in this area, and that the determination of what is and is not a libel should be left to the jury. The author also discusses the broader historical context of libel law, and the ways in which it has been used to suppress dissent and criticism of the government. Ultimately, the author argues that the law of libel must be reformed in order to protect freedom of speech and the right to criticize those in power.
