    With a general history of capital punishment, and discussions concerned with the ethics, morality, consequences, arguments for the abolition of capital punishment, capital punishment in England, &c. A fascinating work. With Appendices to rear.

    With a biographical sketch of the life of Professor Mittermeier.
