Duelling and the Laws of Honour Examined and Condemned

By J C. Bluett

"Duelling and the Laws of Honour Examined and Condemned" offers a critical analysis of the practice of dueling and its justifications based on concepts of honor. Written by J C. Bluett, this work likely delves into the legal, social, and moral dimensions of dueling, examining why it persisted despite being outlawed in many places. It provides insight into the cultural values of the time, particularly those surrounding masculinity, reputation, and social standing. The book likely explores the historical context of dueling, its decline, and the arguments used to condemn it, presenting a view of a practice steeped in tradition but increasingly at odds with evolving social norms and legal frameworks. This is an invaluable resource for understanding a controversial aspect of 19th-century social and legal history.
