Download or read book Notes on Duels and Duelling written by Lorenzo Sabine and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Duel Can't you recognise your own commander, your own captain? Another step and you are a dead man, shouted the Tartar, in a furious rage. In his bloodshot eyes one could discern not only wrath and murder, but a good deal of fear and perplexity, and he made nervous thrusts with his bayonet in different directions, just as if he were protecting himself against imaginary foes. Round about him, but at a respectful distance, a crowd of soldiers flocked together, accepting with joy and gratitude this interesting little interlude in their insufferable, soul killing drill.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Duelling Days in the Army "Duelling," said that clever, though rather eccentric philosophical writer, Mandeville, "is the tie of society, and although we are beholden to our frailties for the chief ingredient in it, there has been no virtue, at least" (he adds) "that I am acquainted with, which has proved half so instrumental to the civilizing of mankind; who, in great societies, would soon degenerate into cruel villains and treacherous slaves, were honour to be removed from among them." But what is honour? The other day a captain in the Russian army stole some seventy pounds from a lady's bag, and when the money was found upon him he pulled out a revolver and shot himself, preferring death to the dishonour of being discovered to be a thief.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Romance of Duelling, Vol. 1 of 2 The age of duelling, like that of chivalry, may be said to be past for ever in England; but there is a lingering romance about the subject, which will always invest it with interest. The topic rings of the time when notions of honour may, indeed, have been false; but they served a purpose in the absence of better laws, better police, better taste, and better manners. The history of duelling necessarily includes that of the manners and morals of epochs; and not only that, it is notoriously connected with the politics and dynastic struggles of nations, especially in France and England.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two Essays: On the Sublime and Beautiful, and on Duelling It will be found that certain states of external nature excite in the minds which contemplate them the emotions of sublimity and beauty, and are called sublime and beautiful, because they are associated in various ways with sublime and beautiful states of the human mind. Many glimpses of this truth were seen by Plato and his followers. Dr. Hutcheson had a very vivid, but not a very distinct perception of it. His perception of it was not sufficiently distinct to show him that it pervades the whole subject. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Duelling, Vol. 2 of 2: Including, Narratives of the Most Remarkable Personal Encounters That Have Taken Place From the Earliest Period to the Present Time In the beginning of this work an account has been given of various traditional trials by combat and judicial ordeals, marked with a similar character of brutality and superstition to that which distinguished similar meetings in France and other countries; and it has also been observed, that it appears evident that personal combats were brought into vogue in England by the followers of William the Conqueror. But the barbarous practice of trial by battle was modified in our island by various circumstances, and was chiefly applied to three special cases - The decision of causes in a military Court of Chivalry; Appeals of felony; and civil cases upon issue joined in a writ of right. This last ordeal, until the reign of Henry II, was the only mode of decision. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
