Bygone Punishments by William Andrews is a historical exploration of the various forms of punishment used throughout history. The book covers a wide range of punishments, from the stocks and pillory to the ducking stool and the whipping post. Andrews also examines the use of capital punishment, including the hangman's noose and the guillotine. The book provides a fascinating insight into the ways in which societies have sought to control crime and maintain order over the centuries. It also explores the changing attitudes towards punishment and the development of more humane approaches in modern times. This book 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.
