the Secure Shell

‘We must have a procedure – if we are going to hang anyone – that is just,’ said Chief Justice Sir Francis Piggott in 1909, on discovering that Chinese accused of murder were being denied interpretation in Hong Kong’s courts. Due process, no matter how costly or inconvenient, was ‘one of the penalties of empire,’ he declared.Penalties of Empire explores how judges, juries, and lawyers strove to deliver justice during the 150 years when the death penalty was in force in Hong Kong. Nine main chapters focus on key capital trials in the first century of British rule. Among the cases are piracies, assassinations, and crimes of passion and desperation. These chapters describe the proceedings in court and the participants involved. They also explore the debates surrounding each case and the exercise or denial of mercy by governors. Two final chapters discuss the decline of the death penalty after World War II, its suspension after 1966, and the controversies leading to its formal abolition in

★2026 British Book Award: Romantic Fiction WinnerAlice Scott is an eternal optimist still dreaming of her big writing break. Hayden Anderson is a Pulitzer-prize winning human thundercloud. And they’re both on balmy Little Crescent Island for the same reason: to write the biography of a woman no one has seen in years—or at least to meet with the octogenarian who claims to be the Margaret Ives. Tragic heiress, former tabloid princess, and daughter of one of the most storied (and scandalous) families of the twentieth century.When Margaret invites them both for a one-month trial period, after which she’ll choose the person who’ll tell her story, there are three things keeping Alice’s head in the game.One: Alice genuinely likes people, which means people usually like Alice—and she has a whole month to win the legendary woman over.Two: She’s ready for this job and the chance to impress her perennially unimpressed family with a Serious Publication.Three: Hayden Anderson, who should have no re

西方的「Law - 法律」普受亞非及東方各國所仿習，可是他們的法律多因水土不服而無法治之實。他們對法律或能論說如流、辯證無礙，但對「Law」的歷史淵源及原始本義，則因牽涉到基督教教義的主軸－the Law、羅馬十二表法，以及十三世紀羅馬教會的教義權威，艾奎那（Thomas Aquinas，1225–74）對Law 的闡釋，加上文化隔閡，不易窺知全貌。 本書精簡介紹西方法律的歷史淵源，說明六世紀受羅馬教會開化的西方蠻邦人（盎格魯撒克遜、法蘭克、日爾曼）將艾奎那的神學論述，發展為條理分明的學術：法律、哲學。十六世紀宗教改革時，這些西方人重視基督教律法（the Law）中的道德信念、耶穌言行，並據以行之。自此，西方遂在不斷演進中，造出法治文化與現代文明。 為讓國人對西方文化根源的律法、十二表法、艾奎那，有所認識，本書特選錄各具代表性的章節；尤其是審判與艾奎那對Law 的解說（包括：「罪疑輕判」等觀念），艾奎那早在八百多年前就說過了，卻少見於中國文獻，甚值參閱。又將英國十六世紀新教「憲法」，39 Articles，有關遵行「Law」的法規，以及大憲章沉睡四百年簡史，置於附錄。本書有些地方或與一般認知，不盡一致，但這並無大礙，反而有助於讀者追查事實。 本書還提醒國人，若光是仿抄西方現成的法制或法律，卻沒有自己的文化根基，猶如沙上建屋，穩固不足。實應謀長遠之計，參酌西方的成功歷程，以自己固有文化作為發展的基礎，方為上策。

台灣推理小説的發展，具有與台灣文學史相同共存的現代性特質。台灣的推理小説，從日治時期開始至今，不論是理論或創作，都深受日本的影響，尤其是關於「本格」的探索。關於台灣推理小説的發展和流派，陳國偉教授屢有論述。為這一專輯而寫的導言，簡要概述之外，推陳出新，提出台灣推理小説作爲「文學現代性的起點」的新觀點，將上世紀六〇年代台灣現代主義風潮，提前到日治時期引進偵探小説的19世紀後半，當台灣第一部偵探小説於1898年1月7日首次出現之時。The development of Taiwan’s mystery novels shares modernist characteristics and co-exists with the mainstream history of Tai-wan literature. Taiwan’s mystery novels, from the Japanese colonial period to the present, have been deeply influenced by Japan, both in theory and creation, especially in the exploration of so-called “original style.” Professor Kuo-wei Chen has discussed the development and genre of mystery novels in Taiwan in different fora. The introduction written for this issue, in addition to including a brief overview, breaks new ground and puts forward a new perspective on Taiwanese mystery novels as “the starting point of literary modernity.” He argues that the origins of Taiwanese modernism should be found not in the 1960s but with the introduction of detect
