Bag om Bygone Punishments

""Bygone Punishments"" by William Andrews is a historical account of the various forms of punishment that were used in the past. The book delves into the methods of punishment that were prevalent in ancient civilizations, medieval times, and the early modern era. It covers a wide range of punishments, from the relatively mild to the extremely severe, including flogging, branding, mutilation, torture, and execution. The author also explores the reasons behind the use of these punishments, such as deterrence, retribution, and rehabilitation, and how they evolved over time. The book provides a fascinating insight into the brutal and often barbaric methods of punishment that were once used, and how they compare to the more humane methods used today. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of crime and punishment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
