Notes

In this anonymous work influenced by Beccaria, Romilly set out to expose a few of the anomalies of British criminal law and to show his opposition to the use of capital punishment.

The "late publication" is by Martin Madan, and the 'Letter from a gentleman abroad to his friend in England (p.137)', refers to a letter sent by Benjamin Franklin to Benjamin Vaughan from 14 March 1785.
