Book Description
G. K. Chesterton felt that a true patriot loves his/her country while viewing that state realistically. Written in 1915, Chesterton felt that England could not really claim the moral high road in World War I because, in fact, England helped to cause the war. Chesterton points to the fact that England supported Prussia and allowed it to get away with political bullying and territorial acquisitions over a period of years. Chesterton argues that this tacit cooperation allowed Prussia to reach its zenith of power that encouraged the Kaiser to act rashly and aggressively. He also points out that England dealt poorly with both the French Revolution and the rise of Napoleon. And he threw in a few words about how the English were dealing with the Irish both during the Home Charter debate and historically. A very interesting look at the domestic debate that divided Great Britain during the first world war.

Book Description
This volume, first published in 1977, brings together eleven studies of crime and the administration of the criminal law in England during the early modern period. They represent a variety of approaches – legal, historical and sociological – to the study of historical crime. The initial essay in this study, which is written from a legal standpoint, is the first coordinated account of the structure of criminal law administration in this formative period. It is followed by investigations into the nature and incidence of crime, court appearance and punishment, separate studies of witchcraft, infanticide and poaching, and an account of conditions in eighteenth-century Newgate. This book will be of particular interest to students of criminology and history.
