''Curious Punishments of Bygone Days'' is a history book published in 1896. It was written by Alice Morse Earle and printed by Herbert S. Stone & Company. Earle was a historian of Colonial America, and she writes in her introduction:
As the title suggests, the subject of the chapters is various archaic punishments. Morse seems to make a distinction between stocks for the feet, in the Stocks chapter, and stocks for the head, described in the Pillory article- which itself clashes with the modern day understanding of a pillory as a whipping post. ==Table of contents== *Foreword *The Bilboes *The Ducking Stool *The Stocks *The Pillory *Punishments of Authors and Books *The Whipping Post *The Scarlet Letter *Branks and Gags *Public Penance *Military Punishments *Branding and Maiming 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Curious Punishments of Bygone Days」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
