Old Time Punishments - William Andrews

A history of the peculiar and particular punishments known as the ducking stool, the Scottish maiden, the pillory, stocks, whipping post, the drunkard's cloak, hanging in chains, and the more terrifying and unsavory punishments such as death by pressing, being hung then drawn and quartered, and death by boiling.

Fully illustrated with wood-cuts and line drawings, the book surveys an aspect of 17^th and 18^th century social history not often dealt with in most histories.
