                         ON   THE






PUNISHMENT OF DEATH.




                             BY


                  THOMAS WRIGHTSON.



                    II ne faut point mener les hommes par des voies
                    extr8mes, on doit 6tre m6nager des moyens que
                    la nature nous donne pour les conduire.  Qu'on
                    examine la cause de tous les relAchements; on
                    verra qu'elle vient de l'impunit6 des crimes, et
                    non  pas de la mod6ration des peines.-Montesquies
                    Esprit des Lois, liv. vi. chap. xii.

                    Lorsqu' on nous prone journellement 1'6conomic du
                      m6tal, il me semble qu'on peut insister quelque
                      peu sur 1'&conomie du sang humain.-Ducpetiaux
                      de la Peine de Mort. Introduction, p. 6.




                 SECOND EDITION.
