THE CODE OF HONOR; OR RULES FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF PRINCIPALS AND SECONDS IN DUELLING
by Wilson, John Lyde
- Used
Charleston, S.C.: Printed by James Phynney, 1858. 16pp. Original printed wrappers, stitched. Light to moderate foxing, Very Good.
The author disclaims any intention to advocate widespread dueling. But where a man "traces all his misfortunes and misery to the slanderous tongue of the calumniator, who, by secret whisper or artful innuendo, has sapped and undermined his reputation," he cannot be expected to submit peacefully. The elaborate rules presented here purport to assure the maintenance of honor, while simultaneously presenting opportunities for resolution without resort to arms. "I believe that nine duels out of ten, if not ninety-nine out of a hundred, originate in the want of experience in the seconds."
Two earlier editions, in 1838 and 1845, were printed.
III Turnbull 269. Cohen 4213.
