Vol. 1 (of 2) Produced by deaurider, Wayne Hammond and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive) "The History of Duelling: Vol. 1 (of 2)" by J. G. Millingen is a comprehensive historical account written in the early 19th century. This work delves into the practice of duelling, chronicling remarkable personal encounters and exploring the origins, evolution, and cultural significance of duelling from ancient times to the author’s contemporary period. Millingen aims to dissect the sociocultural implications and moral ramifications of duelling throughout history. At the start of the narrative, Millingen sets the stage by contrasting the supposed advancement of modern society with the persistent existence of duelling as a social convention, referring to it as a remnant of barbarism. He discusses the historical context in which duelling arose, outlining its emergence during savage epochs as a mechanism for conflict resolution and social order. Through examining ancient practices, including trials by ordeal, the author highlights humanity's inclination toward violence and revenge, framing duelling as a reflection of deeper societal flaws throughout different eras. Thus, the opening lays the groundwork for a detailed exploration of duelling, suggesting that this inquiry will reveal both the dark aspects of human nature and the intricacies of cultural development.
