Book Description
This eye-opening and well-researched companion to the first volume of Executing Democracy enters the death-penalty discussion during the debates of 1835 and 1843, when pro-death penalty Calvinist minister George Barrell Cheever faced off against abolitionist magazine editor John O’Sullivan. In contrast to the macro-historical overview presented in volume 1, volume 2 provides micro-historical case studies, using these debates as springboards into the discussion of the death penalty in America at large. Incorporating a wide range of sources, including political poems, newspaper editorials, and warring manifestos, this second volume highlights a variety of perspectives, thus demonstrating the centrality of public debates about crime, violence, and punishment to the history of American democracy. Hartnett’s insightful assessment bears witness to a complex national discussion about the political, metaphysical, and cultural significance of the death penalty.

Book Description
Excerpt from Remarkable Examples of Moral Recovery: Showing the Power of Religion in Extreme Cases The following narratives are all facts from real life. They are also What the title of the volume purports, - examples of the grace of God in ex treme cases. The case of the Earl of Roches ter is well known, through the narrative of Bishop Burnet; the other sketches are mostly new in this country. They are all well adapted to their design - namely, the encouragement of penitent sinners, even if among the chief of sinners. A more remarkable instance of moral recovery can hardly be found than that from intemperance here given. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
