About this book
James Anson Farrer pairs a new English translation of Cesare Beccaria's Dei delitti e delle pene (Of Crimes and Punishments, 1764) with chapters of his own. The first covers Beccaria's life and character: Lombardy under Count Firmian, his friends the Verri, the book's reception in Paris, its French translation by Morellet and Voltaire's commentary. The second looks at Beccaria's influence on legislation in Russia, France, Tuscany, Austria and Pennsylvania. Farrer says a fresh translation was needed because the order of chapters changed so much before the final version. Chatto and Windus published it in 1880.
