19世紀初頭の法学者バジル・モンタギュ(Basil Mongagu 17770-1851)が編集、出版した著名な死刑論集全3巻のファクシミリ版です。

破産法を専門とする法律家であったモンタギュは、コールリッジ、ワーズワースらとも交流した19世紀前半の知識人で、この時代の死刑運動のリーダーとして情熱的に活動しました。僚友でベンサム主義改革論者サミュエル・ロミーとともに「死刑に関する知識普及会」（Society for the Diffusion of Knowledge upon the Punishment of Death）を組織した彼は、1808年のスリ犯に対する死刑判決を廃棄させるべく国会に働きかけ、この際に展開された彼の反死刑法律論はその後半世紀にわたりこの議論の中心に位置しつづけました。

本書は、上述の「普及会」がスポンサーとなり編集された18世紀後半から19世紀にかけての死刑論選集です。トマス・モア、フランシス・ベーコン、トマス・ホッブス、デヴィッド・ヒューム、サミュエル・ジョンソン、ジェレミー・ベンサム、そしてエラスムス、ルソー、ベンジャミン・フランクリンなど英国内外の死刑に関する著述やその抜粋とともに、スコットランドとロンドンでの死刑執行に関する18世紀後半の統計、死刑反対のパンフレット、議会でのスピーチなど幅広く集められています。編者モンタギューは自身の反死刑の立場は崩さないものの、本書編集には法律家としての客観性を
持ち、賛成論に対する配慮も忘れていません。このため本書はこの時代の死刑論を網羅的に俯瞰できる資料価値の高いものとなっています。
