The silent workings, and still more the explosions, of human
passion which bring to light the darker elements of man's nature
present to the philosophical observer considerations of intrinsic
interest; while to the jurist, the study of human nature and human
character with its infinite varieties, especially as affecting the
connection between motive and action, between irregular desire or
evil disposition and crime itself, is equally indispensable and
difficult. - Wills on Circumstantial Evidence. I REMEMBER my father
telling me that sitting up late one night talking with Tennyson,
the latter remarked that he had not kept such late hours since a
recent visit of Jowett. On that occasion the poet and the
philosopher had talked together well into the small hours of the
morning. My father asked Tennyson what was the subject of
conversation that had so engrossed them. "Murders," replied
Tennyson. It would have been interesting to have heard Tennyson and
Jowett discussing such a theme. The fact is a tribute to the
interest that crime has for many men of intellect and imagination.
Indeed, how could it be otherwise? Rob history and fiction of
crime, how tame and colourless would be the residue We who are
living and enduring in the presence of one of the greatest crimes
on record, must realise that trying as this period of the world's
history is to those who are passing through it, in the hands of
some great historian it may make very good reading for posterity.
Perhaps we may find some little consolation in this fact, like the
unhappy victims of famous freebooters such as Jack Sheppard or
Charley Peace.
Convicts represent those wrong-doers who have taken to a particular
form of wrong-doing punishable by law. Of the larger army of bad
men they represent a minority, who have been found out in a
peculiarly unsatisfactory kind of misconduct. There are many men,
some lying, unscrupulous, dishonest, others cruel, selfish,
vicious, who go through life without ever doing anything that
brings them within the scope of the criminal code, for whose
offences the laws of society provide no punishment We must be
content to study in the microcosm of ordinary crime those
instincts, selfish, greedy, brutal which, exploited often by bad
men, have wrought such havoc to the happiness of mankind. It is not
too much to say that in every man there dwell the seeds of crime;
whether they grow or are stifled in their growth by the good that
is in us is a chance mysteriously determined. As children of nature
we must not be surprised if our instincts are not all that they
should be. From the Introduction of this book, originally published
in 1918.
