Every question in cross-examination should have a purpose. Francis L. Wellman’s classic study shows how great advocates found it.

First published in 1903 and substantially revised in 1904, The Art of Cross-Examination became one of the foundational books of modern trial advocacy. Wellman draws on celebrated courtroom contests, including the work of Rufus Choate, Lord Russell of Killowen, Daniel Webster, and Abraham Lincoln, to examine preparation, witness control, credibility, restraint, sequence, and the dangers of asking one question too many.

This premium edition presents the complete text of Wellman’s revised second edition, restored from multiple public-domain witnesses and newly typeset for modern readers. Its original editorial apparatus explains obsolete legal terms, identifies historical figures and cases, supplies context where Wellman assumed contemporary knowledge, and distinguishes enduring advocacy principles from rules or social assumptions that belong to his period.

Designed for lawyers, law students, historians, writers, and readers of classic courtroom literature, this is both a practical study of persuasion and a carefully documented historical edition. It is a historical work, not a substitute for current rules of evidence, professional-responsibility standards, or jurisdiction-specific legal training.
