Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old-Time Punishments The cucking-stool in the early history of England must not be confounded with the duck ing-stool. They were two distinct machines. It appears, from a record in the Domesday Book, that as far back as the days of Edward the Confessor, any man or woman detected giving false measure in the city of Chester was fined four shillings; and for brewing bad ale, was placed in the cathedra stercofls. It was a degrading mode of chastisement, the culprits being seated in the chair at their own doors or in some public place. At Leicester, in 1467, the local authorities directed scolds to be punished by the Mayor on a cuck-stool before their own doors, and then carried to the four gates of the town. According to Borlase's Natural His tory of Cornwall, in that part of the country the cucking - stool was used as a seat of infamy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Endless Punishment: In the Very Words of Its Advocates F ortunately the time has now arrived when these grave questions can be discussed with a degree of calmness and under an absence of prejudice and passion which hitherto it has been difficult, if not impossible, to com mand. The larger hope, nay, the assured belief, of the final victory of good over evil, is no longer so utterly heretical as to throw its possessor beyond the pale of common-sense and Christian charity. The most zealous advocate of endless punishment is obliged to confess that there is something to be said in favor of a doctrine for which all good men pray, and which, if true, would not only fill the moral universe with joy, but must also te dound to the infinite glory of God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old-Time Punishments In the year 1881, I produced a small work, entitled, "Punishments in the Olden Time," and, to my surprise, in less than three months four thousand copies were sold. After that number had been published, and numerous flattering notices given by the critical press, I resolved to write a larger book on the same subject. The result of my labours is presented in the following pages. I hope this volume contains interesting information which docs not usually come under the notice of the reader, but nevertheless important in throwing light on the history of bygone times. In the preparation of this book, I have consulted several hundred works, and drawn facts from ancient records which still remain in manuscript; and the daily and weekly newspapers have also supplied me with items I have deemed worthy of quotation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Punishment: A Plant in Four Acts I can vouch for the accuracy of the prison life depicted in Punishment. I have seen some thing of that life, so close to the lives of all of us and yet so inconceivably remote, both from the side of the prisoner and from the side of the prison official; and I think I should be quick to detect a false note. To me Punishment rings true; just as in a different field and dealing with quite another branch of the problem Gals worthy's Justice rings true.
