Excerpt from Suggestions for the Repression of Crime: Contained in Charges Delivered to Grand Juries of Birmingham; Supported by Additional Facts and Arguments; Together With Articles From Reviews and Newspapers Controverting or Advocating the Conclusions of the Author Judging, perhaps, too hastily, from the public attention directed towards many of these Charges on their delivery, my friends have decided that they ought to be published, in a form likely to obtain a place for them among works consulted by the student of the various interesting branches of knowledge, which - using the term in a wide sense - may be classed under the head of Criminal Jurisprudence. As the limits of a Charge necessarily exclude very much that a reader engaged in the investigation of the subject might desire to have before him; and as uninterrupted argument becomes wearisome, I have separated the Charges from each other by matter which, I trust, will furnish a variety both useful and acceptable. The views which I have from time to time submitted to my countrymen, though rarely original, have nevertheless had the fortune to provoke controversies in the Press, of a nature to show that the questions thereby raised had then for the first time earnestly occupied the public mind. Consequently, they were sifted with greater zeal, and by a greater number of writers, than had ever before been employed upon them. And, in order that the reader may not lose the benefit to be derived from considering the subject under a multiplicity of aspects, I have presented to him, in rapid succession, the conflicting opinions set forth in the journals and other periodical works, which have done me the honour to notice my labours - whether for approval or for censure.
