Remarks on the opinions of some of the most celebrated writers on Crown Law respecting the due distinction between manslaughter and murder: Being an attempt to shew That the plea of sudden Anger cannot remove the imputation and guilt of Murder, when a Mortal Wound is wilfully given with a weapon: That the indulgence allowed by the Courts to voluntary Manslaughter in Rencounters, and in sudden Affrays and Duels, is indiscriminate, and without foundation in Law: And that impunity in such cases of voluntary Manslaughter is one of the principal causes of the continuance and present increase of the base and disgraceful practice of Duelling. To which are added some thoughts on the particular case of the Gentlemen of the Army when involved in such disagreeable private differences. With a prefatory address to the reader, concerning the Depravity and Folly of modern Men of Honour, falsely so called; including a short account of the Principles and Design of the Work. By Granville Sharp
