Not illustrated. 1894 edition. Excerpt: ... and interred at Kilmallie, close by the great Sir Ewen and other Cameron Chiefs. In elegant language, the inscription on an obelisk tells that it was raised to the memory of "Colonel John Cameron, eldest son of Sir Ewen Cameron of Fassiefern, who, during twenty years of active military service, with a spirit that knew no fear and shunned no danger, accompanied or led in battles, sieges, and marches, the 92ud Regiment of Scottish Highlanders, always to honour, almost always to victory. Reader, call not his fate untimely, who, thus honoured and lamented, closed a life of fame with a death of glory." This inscription is from the pen of Sir Walter Scott, who again and again in poetry and prose expressed his admiration of " brave Cameron," " The gallant Fassiefern." His fall was lamented by his great commander Wellington on public grounds as well as on those of private friendship, and the country conferred permanent honour on his family in testimony of his achievements. The following are the references to him by Sir Walter Scott: -- "And Cameron, in the shock of steel, Died like the offspring of Lochiel." --Field of Waterloo. "Where through battle, rout, and reel, Through storm of shot and hedge of steel, Led the grandson of Lochiel, The valiant Fassiefern. Through steel and shot he leads no more; Low laid 'mid friends' and foemen's gore; But long his native lake's wild shore, And Sunart rough and wild Ardgour And Morven long shall tell; And proud Ben Nevis hear with awe, How at the bloody Quatre Bras Brave Cameron heard the wild hurrah Of conquest as he fell." --Dance of Death. Colonel Cameron is the subject of a poem by Professor Blackie, which I transcribe: -- "At Quatre Bras, when the fight was hot, Stout Cameron stood and eyed the...

Punishment

Book Description
What actions should be punished? Should plea-bargaining be allowed? How should sentencing be determined? In this original, penetrating study, Mark Tunick explores not only why society punishes wrongdoing, but also how it implements punishment. Contending that the theory and practice of punishment are inherently linked, Tunick draws on a broad range of thinkers, from the radical criticisms of Nietzsche, Foucault, and some Marxist theorists through the sociological theories of Durkheim and Girard to various philosophical traditions and the "law and economics" movement. He defends punishment against its radical critics and offers a version of retribution, distinct from revenge, that holds that we punish not to deter or reform, but to mete out just deserts, vindicate right, and express society's righteous anger. Demonstrating first how this theory best accounts for how punishment is carried out, he then provides "immanent criticism" of certain features of our practice that don't accord with the retributive principle. Thought-provoking and deftly argued, Punishment will garner attention and spark debate among political theorists, philosophers, legal scholars, sociologists, and criminologists. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1992. What actions should be punished? Should plea-bargaining be allowed? How should sentencing be determined? In this original, penetrating study, Mark Tunick explores not only why society punishes wrongdoing, but also how it implements punishment.
