OLD BAILEY EXPERIENCE (CLASSIC REPRINT)

Excerpt from Old Bailey ExperienceSome of the matter which this volume contains appeared in print in thelatter part of the year 1832,in Frasers Magazine. Originally the manuscript of only three papers were handed to the editor, nor had the author any thought of pursuing the subject further. But the favourable notice the papers received from the public induced him to extend his remarks, and sub sequently several other articles on the same subject, were written for, and inserted in, that periodical. In the beginning of the present year, it was suggested to the author that a pub lication of the whole series was called for, this hint, together with the appearance of Archbishop Whatelys Thoughts on Secondary Punishment, which are considered by the writer of this work opposed to all experience on the practical results of the effects of punishment, led to a re-consideration of the entire subject in detail. Had a work of this size been contemplated in the first instance, it might have appeared modelled under more regular and specific heads, to compensate for any de feet of this nature, a general and copious index is annexed to the work.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
