He was, in truth, making some last arrangements about executions and such ugly things; and though these duties were rootedly repulsive to him, he always performed them with precision. Ruthless in the pursuit of criminals, he was very mild about their punishment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
