Excerpt from The Principles of Punishment: As Applied in the Administration of the Criminal Law, by Judges and Magistrates

Perhaps this may best be done by stating briefly how the question first presented itself, and what are the special experiences that alone could justify an attempt to supply what I hope may he accepted by those engaged in the like duties as not altogether worthless work.
Accident has given to me exceptionally extensive sources of information.
