  • The Thin Red Line and Blue Blood

    by Arthur George Frederick Griffiths ...
    And then a minute or two later came the signal for the whole line to advance. The Highlanders, and those with them, swiftly mounted to the crest of the ridge, and met the charging cavalry with a withering volley. A second followed.

  • The History and Romance of Crime: Chronicles of Newgate from the Twelfth to the Eighteenth Century (Complete)

    by Arthur George Frederick Griffiths ...
    The combat with crime is as old as civilization. Unceasing warfare is and ever has been waged between the law-maker and the law-breaker.

This is true of the death penalty which in many ages was the only recognized punishment for ... Read more
