About This Item
London: William Andrews & Co, 1899. First. Fair. From Google Books:
The history of corporal punishment provides a fascinating window into societal attitudes towards law and order, gender relationships and generational discipline as well Although a somewhat macabre subject, it affords the interested reader an unparalleled insight into the functioning of past societies, as well as various cultures around the world, in the present day
A relatively scarce book in its original cloth binding, this book would be rated as very good but for the fact that some thoughtless previous owner clipped three small illustrations from three separate pages, Facsimile pages for the damaged ones are laid in, so that the book can still be read in its entirety, but obviously it has lost some of its attractiveness and so is priced accordingly It still has many other illustrations throughout, including the frontispiece shown in the photos, and the binding and text are in otherwise very sound condition.
