Edition Notes

Anonymous. By Cesare Bonesana.--CF. ESTC

Not a reissue of the 1775 4th edition.--Cf. ESTC

Beccaria's very influential "Dei Delitti e delle Pene" was first published in Livorno in 1764, and the first English translation followed in 1767. Beccaria's book brought into the language the phrase "the greatest happiness of the greatest number" and his arguments about crime and punishment, revolutionary in their time, are part and parcel of modern criminology and penology. See "Printing and the Mind of Man": No. 209.
