Synopsis

Capital Punishment: The Argument of Rev. George B. Cheever in Reply to J.L. O'Sullivan is a book that presents a debate between two individuals on the topic of capital punishment. Rev. George B. Cheever argues in favor of capital punishment, while J.L. O'Sullivan argues against it. Cheever presents his views on the moral and religious justifications for the death penalty, and provides examples from history to support his argument. He also addresses common objections to capital punishment and offers counterarguments. The book is a detailed and comprehensive analysis of the issue, and provides readers with a thorough understanding of the arguments for and against capital punishment.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.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The debate by which the following argument was called forth, was originally intended for only two evenings. Meantime, there occurred a debate on the same subject before theN ew York Lyceum, in which the Rev. Dr. Cox, and Horace Greeley, Esq. were among the speakers. There occured also a second evenings debate between these two gentlemen, each occupying one hour. After this came the second evening of the debate between Mr. OS ullivan and the author of the present argument. At the close of that evening Mr. OS ullivan unexpectedly challenged his opponent to continue the discussion one evening longer, and this invitation being accepted, the whole debate was thus protracted through five evenings in five weeks. The following argument embraces the debate of three of those evenings, on the side against the abolition of capital punishment. The question as stated was as follows: Resolved, That Capital Punishment ought to be abolished. The Report of the argument appeared originally, with some omissions, in theN ew York Evangelist. In the present volume one or two paragraphs are added, which the author was compelled to omit in the discussion for want of time. Some critical remarks on the statute in Genesis, have been also given at the close of the third evenings argument, in addition to the preceding examination of it.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
