About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1841. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... period to the little space of trial--has hurled a fellow-creature, yet covered with unrepented crimes, to that bar from whence there is no appeal: and that it has, perhaps, fixed him in guilt and despair as long as the throne of the Almighty endures. Had he lived', whom the hand of justice hurled to unfathomable ruin, he might have become an heir of immortal purity, and crowned with unfading bliss. He might have stood triumphant on the tomb of nature, and proceeded advancing in goodness and joy, delighted with the smiles of an Almighty Father. The very imagination of the ruin they have accelerated, makes the advocates of death tremble; while it should compel all who believe in a doctrine so terrible, to deny that a power so tremendous is committed to fallible man, however exalted by fortune or by goodness. There is a voice from the tomb which cries to him to spare, who must one day himself be tried at a great and majestic tribunal! . . . . Nay, if the stability of the whole frame of civil governments and human institutions demanded the sacrifice of one guilty individual, we should doubt, if we felt the influence of our stern creed, whether it would not be of less moment for the whole to perish, than for one immortal spirit to be made subject to the eternal horrors of omnipotent vengeance; rather that they should sink into the dust with all their glories, than that a punishment should be inflicted which may continue forever without hope or alleviation."* And with respect to the value of that chance of reformation from which the infliction of the penalty of death for his crime forever cuts off the guilty wretch--guilty, but as unhappy as guilty--the same writer (all of whose views are not, of course, endorsed by the committee by the quotation of the above extract)...
