Book excerpt: Excerpt from Criminal History of the British Empire The Treaty of Utrecht (1713) was itself an infamy, as It was secretly negotiated, after the fashion of conspirators, Mr. Gardner says, and after the preliminaries had been secretly agreed upon, they actually communicated a false copy of them to the Dutch, their allies. England obtained the largest share of the material advantages of the peace, whilst she lost credit by her ill faith in concealing her abandonment of her allies, and especially by giving up the Catalans to the vengeance of Philip of Spain. This brave people had been encouraged to assist the allies, with the under standing and assurance that they would be protected.

Download or read book A History of the Criminal Law of England Vol 1 of 3 Classic Reprint written by James Fitzjames Stephen and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 602 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Criminal Law of England, Vol. 1 of 3 This work, which attempts to relate the history of the Criminal Law of England, has a history of its own. In 1863 I published what in one sense may be called the first edition of this work under the title of A General View of the Criminal Law. In 1869 I became Legal Member of the Council of the Viceroy in India, and held that office for about two years and a half, during which time my attention was strongly directed, from the legislative point of view, to the subject of Criminal Law, and particularly to its codification. Amongst other things, I drew and carried through the Legislative Council the Code of Criminal Procedure, Act X. of 1872, which, with some slight alterations and variations has just been reenacted and extended to the High Courts by Act X. of 1882. In 1873 or 1874 I was informed that a second edition of my General View was wanted. I began to prepare one, but I found myself hampered at every page by the absence of any authoritative statement of the law to which I might refer. It then occurred to me that as there was no such statement in existence I might write something which at all events would express my own views as to what the law was, to which I might refer in discussing its provisions historically and critically. Acting on this I wrote my Digest of the Criminal Law which was published in 1877, and cf which a third edition is just coming out.

Download or read book An Empire on Trial written by Martin J. Wiener and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2008-12-08 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Empire on Trial is the first book to explore the issue of interracial homicide in the British Empire during its height – examining these incidents and the prosecution of such cases in each of seven colonies scattered throughout the world. It uncovers and analyzes the tensions of empire that underlay British rule and delves into how the problem of maintaining a liberal empire manifested itself in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The work demonstrates the importance of the processes of criminal justice to the history of the empire and the advantage of a trans-territorial approach to understanding the complexities and nuances of its workings. An Empire on Trial is of interest to those concerned with race, empire, or criminal justice, and to historians of modern Britain or of colonial Australia, India, Kenya, or the Caribbean. Political and post-colonial theorists writing on liberalism and empire, or race and empire, will also find this book invaluable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Criminal History of the English Government: From the First Massacre of the Irish, to the Poisoning of the Chinese The Criminal History of the English Government re quires neither declamation nor hyperbole. The facts speak for themselves. To narrate, is to accuse; to read, is to condemn. In these hideous annals, where every page is a blot, and every line an injury, we are embarrassed only by the fecundity of crime, and the richness of the subject. Let us not, however, be misunderstood we shall not pre tend that the English people are accomplices of the gov ernment. Such an accusation would be too general, and to it we must make exceptions. Nations are responsible only in preportion to the degree of liberty they enjoy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The History Thieves written by Ian Cobain and published by Granta Books. This book was released on 2017-07 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1889, the first Official Secrets Act was passed, creating offences of 'disclosure of information' and 'breach of official trust'. It limited and monitored what the public could, and should, be told. Since then a culture of secrecy has flourished. As successive governments have been selective about what they choose to share with the public, we have been left with a distorted and incomplete understanding not only of the workings of the state but of our nation's culture and its past. In this important book, Ian Cobain offers a fresh appraisal of some of the key moments in British history since the end of WWII, including: the measures taken to conceal the existence of Bletchley Park and its successor, GCHQ, for three decades; the unreported wars fought during the 1960s and 1970s; the hidden links with terrorist cells during the Troubles; the sometimes opaque workings of the criminal justice system; the state's peacetime surveillance techniques; and the convenient loopholes in the Freedom of Information Act. Drawing on previously unseen material and rigorous research, The History Thieves reveals how a complex bureaucratic machine has grown up around the British state, allowing governments to evade accountability and their secrets to be buried.
