About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of The Ways of the Hour by James Fenimore Cooper. Read in English by LibriVox Volunteers. 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
