We regard this as valuable work 1t presents
no claims originality, being mainly compilation OF
the best thoughts the subjects discussed OF various
standard writers including Paley, Dymond, Wayland,
Dick Chalmers Abercrombie and Charming. Way
lands work is bare OF illustration for general use
md Paleys is almost universally conceded TO be detect
i've On of the topics discussed in the volume We
differ widely from the compiler but its general tone Is
excellent On the subject oil Capital Punishment his ar
sument strikes it viii many others IS exceeding
~ weak and nconclusive. For example, we find him
quoting authority the pretended confession OF How
ard in New Hampshire the effect that he would have
committed murder if he had supposed the punish
be imprisonment for life instead OF death the
gallows. This confession having been shown TO be
forgery. Mir Boyds reference to it is snguarly unor
innate,
