A dissertation shewing the invalidity of all proof by similitude of hands, in criminal cases. The whole collected from the civil law and other distinguished authorities, founded on the principles of reason and equity, and digested with a clearness that suits it to all capacities. Translated from the works of an eminent French civilian, and proper to be read by a free people at all times, but particularly the present, when a new species of treason, and that by way of correspondence, has been lately created, the extreme danger of which to the most innocent person living, is set forth at large in an ample preface by the translator
