Omschrijving

""Halifax And Its Gibbet-Law Placed In A True Light"" is a historical book written by William Bentley in 1761. The book provides a detailed account of the infamous ""Gibbet Law"" of Halifax, a law that allowed for the execution of criminals by hanging them from a gibbet or a wooden frame. Bentley's book explores the origins of the law, its implementation, and its impact on the town of Halifax and its inhabitants. He also examines the various crimes that led to executions under the law and the social and political context in which the law was enforced. Through his analysis, Bentley challenges many of the myths and misconceptions surrounding the Gibbet Law, presenting a more accurate and nuanced understanding of this dark chapter in English history. The book is a valuable resource for historians, legal scholars, and anyone interested in the history of crime and punishment in England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
