Publisher's Synopsis
""By Right of Sword: A Defense of Capital-Punishment"" is a book written by Leigh H. Irvine, which argues in favor of the use of capital punishment. The author explores the topic through a thorough examination of history, theology, and philosophy, drawing on a range of sources to support his argument. Irvine contends that capital punishment is a just and necessary form of punishment for certain crimes, and that it has been used throughout history as a means of maintaining social order and deterring crime. He also addresses common objections to capital punishment, such as concerns about the possibility of wrongful convictions, and argues that these concerns can be addressed through careful legal procedures. Overall, ""By Right of Sword"" provides a comprehensive defense of capital punishment, drawing on a wide range of intellectual and historical sources to make its case.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
