Synopsis

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:

In ransacking old court records, newspapers, diaries and letters for the historic foundation of the books which I have written on colonial history, I have found and noted much of interest that has not been used or referred to in any of those books. An accumulation of notes on old-time laws, punishments and penalties has evoked this volume.

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.

Alice Morse Earle (April 27, 1851 – February 16, 1911) was an American historian and writer from Worcester, Massachusetts.

    Policy making is a crucial aspect of governance that directly influences the well-being of citizens and the development of a nation. It is designed to promote the general welfare of the population, addressing issues such as health, education, and public safety to ensure that the needs of citizens are met. Economic policies play a significant role in managing the economy by promoting growth, reducing unemployment, and controlling inflation, which leads to a more stable and prosperous society. 
      
    Moreover, policy making is essential for reducing social inequalities by providing support to disadvantaged groups through measures related to housing, social security, and anti-discrimination. Environmental policies are also vital for the sustainable management of natural resources and the protection of ecosystems, addressing issues such as climate change, pollution, and conservation. In terms of national security, policies related to defense, immigration, and foreign relations are critical for maintaining security and protecting the country from external threats. 
      
    Policy making also encourages innovation and progress by funding research and development, supporting new technologies, and creating a favorable environment for entrepreneurship. It provides a framework for regulation and oversight, ensuring that industries operate fairly and safely, covering areas such as financial regulations, consumer protection laws, and labor standards. Additionally, the policy-making process allows for public participation and democratic governance, giving citizens a voice in how they are governed and ensuring their interests are represented.

    Do you feel pain and sadness uncontrollably bubbling out of your body? 
    Are you struggling with feelings of anxiety and the fear of not being loved? 
      
    Do you struggle to explain in a rational way why this happens to you? 
    Are you in touch with your inner child? 
      
    Often, the baggage we carry from our childhood can be very difficult to shake off, especially when we have been exposed to deep trauma. 
      
    This pain leaves wounds that can affect the ability to experience happiness, enjoy current relationships, achieve success, or perhaps even raise children in the way that you want to. 
    Some of the signs that your inner child is still suffering: 
      
    Difficulty with emotions 
    Anxiety with new experiences 
    Obsessive and Needy 
    Poor Self-Esteem 
    Difficulty with Boundaries 
    Identity Problems 
    The effects of unresolved pain build up over time and change the way in which we perceive events, people and ourselves. For those who have been abused or neglected, the effects have far-reaching consequences and if you don't take action they will continue indefinitely. 
      
    It won't be easy, but with the practical exercises in this manual, I will take you by the hand to reconnect with the little boy or girl within you. 
    If we undertake inner-child work by connecting to the little boy or girl within us, we can reconnect with some of the reasons for our adult fears, phobias and life patterns. When we begin to understand them, then the fantastic magic of healing and peace with oneself can occur. Just take a deep breath, relax that knot in your stomach and grab this book!
