Besides founding the London Maybrick Society, lawyer Alexander William MacDougall wrote The Maybrick Case: A Treatise on the Facts of the Case, and of the Proceedings in Connection with the Charge, Trial, Conviction, and Present imprisonment of Florence Elizabeth Maybrick. London: Baillière, Tindall and Cox, 1891. It's available on Google Books. At 606 pages it's an interesting discussion of the case. Along with Helen Densmore's The Maybrick Case: English Criminal Law (New York: Stillman & Co., 1892) likewise available on Google Books, MacDougall's treatise is one of two books that were defenses of Mrs. Maybrick that appeared during her lifetime.
