Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book chronicles the infamous "Maiden," a beheading machine used in Edinburgh between 1564 and 1710. The author analyzes the machine's operation, history, and victims, placing it within the context of Scottish capital punishment. Exploring the evolution of the Maiden's design and its impact on Scottish society, this book uncovers the grim realities of crime and punishment in 16th and 17th century Scotland, and the Maiden's enduring legacy as a symbol of justice and brutality. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
