Book Description
Excerpt from Passion and Criminality in France: A Legal and Literary Study Few more important Works have been published of late years than Louis Proal's Passion and Criminality. It is a book that appeals at one and the same time to the specialist in Psychology, Ethics, Criminology and Insanity, and to the general reader. M. Proal is a well-known authority on all questions connected with Crime, its causes and motives, its various forms and manifestations, its frequency and distribution, and its proper punishment, and the author of other valuable and interesting works, throwing light on these vitally important subjects. He holds a high position in the legal profession in France, being one of the Presiding Judges at a French Court of Appeal, and having previously held very responsible official and judicial appointments in other parts of the Country, especially in the South. All this has afforded M. Proal unrivalled opportunities of observation; and indeed the most cursory glance through his books must show what an enormous mass of invaluable information he has gleaned from many different sources - from cases in which he has acted as Advocate or Prosecutor, or presided as Judge, from confidences made to him as Juge d'Instruction, from Reports of Criminal Trials, from Official Records of Suicides, etc., etc. Moreover, this wealth of detail is marshalled in the most admirable order, each argument adduced and each conclusion arrived at being supported by a series of apposite facts in illustration, the whole set forth in that clearly ordered and lucid style that seems the birthright of every educated Frenchman. Passion and Criminality is a truly wonderful book. No doubt the reading is often sad and painful, but it is never dull.
