Hanging: Not Punishment Enough is a book written by Basil Montagu in 1812. The book is a critique of the death penalty and argues that hanging is not a sufficient punishment for crimes. Montagu presents a range of arguments against capital punishment, including the possibility of wrongful convictions, the lack of deterrent effect, and the moral implications of taking a life. He also proposes alternative forms of punishment, such as transportation to colonies or imprisonment with hard labor. The book was influential in the movement to abolish the death penalty in England and other countries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
