Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the history, causes, and consequences of duelling, a practice that has persisted in various forms for centuries, particularly among the upper classes. Exploring its prevalence in ancient Greece and Rome and its later adoption by medieval knights, the author traces the evolution of duelling from a means of settling disputes to a violent and often fatal custom rooted in the defense of personal honor. The author questions the validity of honor as a justification for duelling, arguing that true honor lies in seeking justice through legal channels and in respecting the sanctity of human life. They highlight the devastating impact of duels on families and communities, as well as their failure to deter the very offenses they are intended to avenge. This book offers a thought-provoking analysis of the complex factors that have fueled duelling throughout history, shedding light on its enduring appeal and its profound consequences. It invites readers to reconsider the concept of honor and to embrace a more enlightened approach to conflict resolution that values human life and the rule of law. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that dueling was born from the corruption and abuse of civilization and the indolence of laws. The author goes on to detail a number of moral and physical causes of dueling and other crimes that originated from common causes, and introduces detailed suggestions and arguments for how to prevent such evils. This book discusses the history of discipline and its relevance today, the relationship between discipline and the prevention of crime, and the role of national discipline in preventing dueling and other crimes. The author presents a convincing argument that discipline is essential for preventing crime and that the lack of it is a major contributing factor to the prevalence of crime in society. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the prevention of crime and the promotion of justice.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes dueling's history, from its origins to the modern era, and examines its place within society. The author argues that dueling is a result of the inadequacy of the law and proposes that strengthening the law could prevent the practice. The author posits that the impunity with which the practice is currently met permits the practice to flourish and that by punishing those who participate, the practice could be eliminated. The author concludes by suggesting that a weak legal system fosters either tyranny or licentiousness within government and that dueling serves as an example of the latter.
