Book Description
Excerpt from The Court of Session Garland Sometimes, too, the same story is told of different persons; thus some versions of the anecdote at page 76, represent the late Bayn Whyt, Esq. W.S., as the mischievous person who tormented Sir James Colquhoun, Baronet, when a principal Clerk of Session, by making faces at him; it is not very material whether the Barrister, or the Writer to the Signet, was the offending party, if the fact be true, -;-and that such a scene did actually take place cannot reasonably be doubted for besides the distinct recollection of an old gentlemen on the subject, who died some years since, and from whom the story was first obtained, there are still surviving, various persons who, although not present, have heard the circumstances detailed, and who received them as perfectly genuine, shortly after the time when they are alleged to have taken place. The Editor has been informed that the Competition between the Lakes, was written in imitation of the style in which the late Eobert Craigie, Esq. (afterwards Lord Mr Whyt was Adjutant of the Edinburgh Volunteers when commanded by Lord President Hope, with whom he was a great favourite. He had an excellent business, and was considered a most upright and able agent. In the latter part of his life he became very corpulent, and when on horseback, resembled in size the late Colonel Teasdale. Eobert, son of John Craigie, Esq. of Kilgraston, was admitted a member of the Faculty of Advocates in 1776. After having been several years Sheriff-depute for Dumfriesshire, he was raised to the Bench in 1811. Upon his demise in 1834, he was succeeded by Lord Cockburn.

Book Description
The U.S. death penalty is a peculiar institution, and a uniquely American one. Despite its comprehensive abolition elsewhere in the Western world, capital punishment continues in dozens of American states– a fact that is frequently discussed but rarely understood. The same puzzlement surrounds the peculiar form that American capital punishment now takes, with its uneven application, its seemingly endless delays, and the uncertainty of its ever being carried out in individual cases, none of which seem conducive to effective crime control or criminal justice. In a brilliantly provocative study, David Garland explains this tenacity and shows how death penalty practice has come to bear the distinctive hallmarks of America’s political institutions and cultural conflicts. America’s radical federalism and local democracy, as well as its legacy of violence and racism, account for our divergence from the rest of the West. Whereas the elites of other nations were able to impose nationwide abolition from above despite public objections, American elites are unable– and unwilling– to end a punishment that has the support of local majorities and a storied place in popular culture. In the course of hundreds of decisions, federal courts sought to rationalize and civilize an institution that too often resembled a lynching, producing layers of legal process but also delays and reversals. Yet the Supreme Court insists that the issue is to be decided by local political actors and public opinion. So the death penalty continues to respond to popular will, enhancing the power of criminal justice professionals, providing drama for the media, and bringing pleasure to a public audience who consumes its chilling tales. Garland brings a new clarity to our understanding of this peculiar institution– and a new challenge to supporters and opponents alike.
