Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Essay on the Practice of Duelling, as It Exists in Modern Society: Occasioned by the Late Lamentable Occurrence Near Philadelphia This permitted as an introduction to my essay on duel ling, I think that duels should be considered, first, m them selves; secondly, with reference to the causes of duelling; thirdly, with regard to public Opinion; fourthly, with regard to the law, which has reference to that crime. Duels would, perhaps, be set forth as a fatal evidence, that ferocity, or, in other words, barbarity, is the original sin of the animal creation, since the human kind preserves it in common with wild beasts, and birds of prey, notwithstanding all the civilization of which men are susceptible. Among civilized people, where falsehood was the most abominable vice, and personal valour, a sovereign virtue; and where laws did not exist, disputes, quarrels, and even trials, were decided by the sword. Where a prince, either by his awn valour, or by fortune, obtained royal authority over fellow chiefs, who being armed, and having followers, could not only with diffict be brought to submit to tribunals, but even to recognise a law, the settling of quarrels, and disputes, and title's by the sword was still a necessary evil; and kings found it to their interest to give leave to combatants, who could not be pre vented from fighting. Among civilized people, duelling is thought a necessary substitute to revenge those offences, which either are not punished by the law, or are deemed not punishable by law.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on Duels and Duelling: Alphabetically Arranged, With a Preliminary Historical Essay This page - the last to be written - is the author's own. Here he may speak to his reader without restraint, and, if he will, as to a friend. The writer, in availing himself of the privilege accorded to all, would remark, in the first place, that whoever opens this volume in the expectation of finding mention of every challenge given and of every duel fought, in the United States or elsewhere, will be disappointed. The work, in its claims as a record, is sufficiently moderate. Bred to active business, and employed nearly the whole of his life in commercial or kindred pursuits, the author's leisure hours only have been devoted to books. In order to make them most of these hours, the plan of taking and filing away for us, as occasion might admit, memoranda of incidents and facts of interest, was adopted in early youth, and has been continued until the present moment. These Notes are, then, simply the results of common and every-day reading, observations, and conversation, for a series of years, in this particular direction.

Download or read book Dueling written by Alix Wood and published by Gareth Stevens Publishing LLLP. This book was released on 2013-08-01 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It wasn’t that long ago that dueling was an accepted practice in many parts of the world. In fact, duels were once considered an honorable way to solve a problem. The American navy actually included the Code Duello, the rules for conducting a duel, in its handbook until 1862. Readers are introduced to the special language of dueling and the famous people who participated in duels—or narrowly avoided them—including Andrew Jackson, Edgar Allen Poe, and Alexander Hamilton. Surprising facts are highlighted in sidebars throughout the text, such as the common practice of purposefully shooting away from one’s opponent. Dynamic images and illustrations transport readers back to the days of pistols drawn at dawn.
