Excerpt from The Criminal Jurisprudence of the Ancient Hebrews: Compiled From the Talmud and Other Rabbinical Writings, and Compared With Roman and English Penal Jurisprudence
Of the many excellent German works on the particular branch of Rabbinic lore treated of in these pages, I have consulted none, because I wished to let the ancient Hebrew sages speak for themselves, and not through the mouths of modern commentators. English works on this subject I have not seen, except a few articles liere and there, and Vargha schapter on the Defense in Criminal Cases with the Ancient Hebrews. Wines svaluable work treats of the Mosaic system only.
Only works of generally recognized authority have been referred to for data of historical matters as well as of Greek, Roman, or English Law. Those most frequently cited are the following:
