Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Opinions of Different Authors Upon the Punishment of Death We are informed by Lord Bacon, (a) that one of the great obstacles to the advancement of truth is, the over-early and peremptory reduction of know ledge into arts and methods: which once done, sciences commonly receive small or no augmen tation. For as young men, when they knit and shape perfectly, do seldom grow to a farther stature; so knowledge, while it is dispersed in aphorisms and observations, may grow and shoot up; yet once inclosed and comprehended in methods, it may, perchance, be farther polished and illustrated and accommodated for use and practice, but it increaseth no more in bulk and substance. And another error of the same nature is, an impatience of doubt, and an unadvised haste to assertion, without due and mature suspension of judgment; for the two ways of contemplation are not unlike the two ways of action, commonly spoken of by the ancients; of which one was a plain and smooth way in the beginning, but in the end impassable; the other rough and troublesome in the entrance, but after a while fair and even; so is it in contemplations; if a man will begin in certainties, he shall end in doubts; but if he can be content to begin with doubts, and have patience a while, he shall end in certainties.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Opinions of Different Authors Upon the Punishment of Death, Vol. 2 Amy Dnay and Rose Callender were tried and condemned at Bury St. Edmunds, in Sufi'olk, by the Lord Chief Baron Hale an account of the trial was printed in his lordship's lifetime. They were tried upon thirteen several indictments; Amy Dnny was charged with bewitching Mr. Pacey's children, and causing them to have fits, and when Sir Thomas Brown, the-famous physi. Cian of his time, who was in court, was desired by my Lord Chief Baron to give his judgment in the case, he declared, that he was clearly of opinion that the fits were natural, but heightened by the devil, co-operating with the malice of the witches at whose instance he did the villanies and he added, that in Denmark there had been lately a great discovery of witches who used the very same way of afiicting persons, by conveying pins into them. This made that great and good man doubtful, but he was in such fears that he would not so much as sum up the evidence, but left it to the jury with prayers, that the great God of Heaven would direct their hearts in that weighty mat tar. The jury having Sir Thomas Brown's declaration about Denmark, for their encouragement, in halfan hour brought them in guilty upon all the thir teen indictments. After this my Lord Chief Baron gave the law its coursa, and they were condemned, and died declaring their innocence.

Excerpt: ...are very tender of the lives of each other; they seldom shed blood but to retaliate former cruelty. Our Saxon ancestors, fierce as they were in war, had but few executions in times of peace; and in all commencing governments that have the print of nature still strong upon them, scarce any crime is held capital. It is among the citizens of a refined community, that penal laws, which are in the hands of the rich, are laid upon the. poor. Government, while it grows older, seems to acquire the moroseness of age: and, as if our property were become dearer in proportion as it encreased; as if the more enormous our wealth, the more extensive our fears; all our possessions are paled up with new edicts every day, and hung round with gibbets to scare every invader. I cannot tell whether it is from the number of our penal laws, or the licentiousness of our people, that this country should show more convicts in a year than half the dominions of Europe united. Perhaps it is owing to both; for they mutually produce each other. When by indiscriminate penal laws, a nation beholds the same punishment affixed to dissimilar degrees of guilt, from perceiving no distinction in the penalty, the people are led to lose all sense of distinction in the crime, and this distinction is the bulwark of all morality: thus the multitude of laws produce new vices, and new vices call for fresh restraints. It were to be wished then, that power, instead of contriving new laws to punish vice; instead of drawing hard the cords of society till a convulsion come to burst them; instead of cutting away wretches as useless, before we have tried their utility; instead of converting correction into vengeance; it were to be wished that we tried the restrictive arts of government, and...

Download or read book The Death of Punishment written by Robert Blecker and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2013-11-19 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For twelve years Robert Blecker, a criminal law professor, wandered freely inside Lorton Central Prison, armed only with cigarettes and a tape recorder. The Death of Punishment tests legal philosophy against the reality and wisdom of street criminals and their guards. Some killers' poignant circumstances should lead us to mercy; others show clearly why they should die. After thousands of hours over twenty-five years inside maximum security prisons and on death rows in seven states, the history and philosophy professor exposes the perversity of justice: Inside prison, ironically, it's nobody's job to punish. Thus the worst criminals often live the best lives. The Death of Punishment challenges the reader to refine deeply held beliefs on life and death as punishment that flare up with every news story of a heinous crime. It argues that society must redesign life and death in prison to make the punishment more nearly fit the crime. It closes with the final irony: If we make prison the punishment it should be, we may well abolish the very death penalty justice now requires.
