Excerpt from Makers of Methodism
The penal code Of England in the eighteenth cen tury was of savage ferocity. Its laws, like those Of Draco, were written in blood. The death penalty was inflicted not only for murder, but also for treason, forgery, theft, and smuggling; and it was Often inflicted with aggravating terrors. Among the causes Of the increase of robbers, Fielding lays much stress on the frequency of executions, their publicity, and their habitual association in the popular mind with notions of pride and vanity, instead Of guilt, degradation or shame.
