The Duelists or Men of Honor, A Story: Calculated to Show the Folly, Extravagance, and Sin of Dueling is a book written by William Lucas and originally published in 1805. The book tells the story of two young men, Charles and Edward, who become embroiled in a duel over a perceived slight. As the story unfolds, the reader is shown the devastating consequences of dueling, both for the individuals involved and for their families and communities. Through the characters of Charles and Edward, the author highlights the foolishness and moral depravity of dueling, and makes a powerful argument against the practice. The book is a powerful indictment of dueling, and remains a valuable historical document for anyone interested in the history of this destructive and senseless practice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
