active 19th century C. G. (Charles G.) Stewart

C. G. Stewart, sometimes listed as Charles G. Stewart, appears in modern library and bookseller records as an active 19th-century author associated with Reports of Trials for Murder by Poisoning; by Prussic Acid, Strychnia, Antimony, Arsenic, and Aconita, a work linked with G. Lathom Browne.

Beyond that attribution, reliable biographical detail is scarce. Readily available public sources do not clearly confirm basic facts such as birth and death dates, nationality, or a broader bibliography, so it is best to treat Stewart as a little-documented figure from Victorian-era legal or crime writing.

That rarity may be part of the appeal: Stewart belongs to the large cast of 19th-century authors whose names survive chiefly through a single surviving book. For readers of courtroom history, sensational crime, and period legal literature, that surviving work offers a glimpse into how poisoning cases were presented to the reading public in its time.
