An Essay On The Abolition Of Capital Punishment Etc PDF Download

Excerpt from Capital Punishment: The Importance of Its Abolition, a Prize Essay The Roman who uttered the well-known sentiment, "I am a man, and feel a concern in every thing that relates to mankind," has been commended by succeeding generations. The writer trusts that the motives which have led to the discussion of the subject of Capital Punishment are of a philanthropic character. The importance of the subject is self-evident, affecting, as it does, the social and political, the temporal and eternal interests of individuals and families, communities and empires. Yet it must be acknowledged, neither the philanthropist nor the christian, neither the legislator nor the divine, until within the last few years, has given the subject that grave and anxious consideration which it merits.
