Recent Object-Lessons in Penal Science: With a Bibliographical Introduction (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Recent Object-Lessons in Penal Science: With a Bibliographical Introduction
Strike but hear me, I must yet express regret upon the birthday of this book not only at its slight ness, dealing as it does with such colossal issues, but also that certain chapters written originally for Magazines and Reviews do not lend themselves over kindly to revision, for publication in Book shape.
This latter fault however, being one of form rather than of substance, will readily be forgiven by those who are earnestly seeking after truth in penal science. Such like myself cannot but deplore the fact, that England has contributed little to the literature on the subject, which is so good and abundant on the Continent.
Since no one else will look at a book, which, if honest and true, men of penal science nevertheless will welcome as of course, it serves no useful purpose then, to labour apologies under the title of a preface.
