1953915 April 1895; on letterhead of the Athenaeum Pall Mall London ; and 16 February 1897; 14 Old Square Lincoln's Inn London . Both items in good condition. ONE: 3pp. 12mo. After a reference to 'Mr. Lang' he turns to the Hereford Mappa Mundi his father was Bishop of Hereford: 'I am very glad you were interested in the introductory Essay to the "Mappa" and the commentary renders it easy to work out the whole thing: I once gave a lecture on it in my youth'. The lecture was given in 1880. A reference follows to the 'introductory dinner' at Lincoln's Inn of 'Dick' - Harrington's son Richard the future 12th Baronet - at which he was 'in company with Bosanquet and myself'. TWO: 3pp. 12mo. Regarding the 1871 trial of Edmund Walter Pook for the murder of Jane Maria Clousen he writes to thank Harington ffor 'taking so much trouble in telling me your recollections of the Popk case which will be of great assistance to me if I come to right sic his trial which however will not be just as the Editor of the Cornhill has sent me down to Courvoisier. I shall try and get him to let me do Pook next; there is no separate report of the case that I cannot find but the Times gives it very fully and the short hand report of the evidence is in the Sessional papers of C. C. C in the Library here.' He believes there to have been 'a good deal of friction' between the judge Sir William Bovill and attorney John Duke Coleridge later 1st Baron Coleridge and that 'the evidence seems to have completely melted away'. Atlay can 'just remember being excited about the trial as a private school boy.' 15 April 1895; on letterhead of the Athenaeum [ Pall Mall, London ]; and 16 February 1897; 14 Old Square, Lincoln's Inn [ London unknown

Irvine author of the Iron Highway.and others is attracting attention throughout the country by the strong and masterful manner in which he is placing the various labor and other problems before the people. It is often a fact that labor reformers and writers who address themselves to the wage-earner fail to make themselves understood." "Although some U. S. States began abolishing the death penalty most states held onto capital punishment. Some states made more crimes capital offenses especially for offenses committed by slaves. In 1838 in an effort to make the death penalty more palatable to the public some states began passing laws against mandatory death sentencing instead enacting discretionary death penalty statutes. The 1838 enactment of discretionary death penalty statutes in Tennessee and later in Alabama were seen as a great reform. This introduction of sentencing discretion in the capital process was perceived as a victory for abolitionists because prior to the enactment of these statutes all states mandated the death penalty for anyone convicted of a capital crime regardless of circumstances. With the exception of a small number of rarely committed crimes in a few jurisdictions all mandatory capital punishment laws had been abolished by 1963. Bohm 1999 " . Baker & Taylor Company hardcover
