"The History of Duelling: Vol. 2" by J. G. Millingen is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This volume explores various instances and legal implications of dueling, focusing particularly on notable personal encounters from Great Britain and Ireland, as well as other countries, spanning several centuries. The book aims to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of the cultural, legal, and social contexts surrounding this practice. The opening of the volume discusses the origins of dueling in England, tracing its introduction by the followers of William the Conqueror and explaining its evolution, including the legal definitions and consequences of duel-related deaths. Millingen addresses significant cases that highlight the tension between personal honor and legal repercussions, detailing how views on duels shifted over time due to changing societal norms. The text recounts specific incidents, examining both historical figures and the broader implications of dueling within British society, thus setting the stage for deeper explorations in the subsequent chapters.
