Ewers. Hamburgh, 1826.
ANCIENT RUSSIAN LA W. 141 ' T feared injustice^ But they replied, ' Thou hast been set by God, for the punishment of the wicked and for grace to the good. It becometh thee to punish the murderers ; but only after much searching out.' Then Wladimir re- jected the wergeld (fine) and punished the murderers." This ancient chronicle shows remarkably the change which must have passed through every barbaric tribe after the new power began to work. First the bitter and deadly feu...d under the reign of private revenge ; then blood-money paid to the person injured or to his relatives ; then a fine paid to the prince by one who had no family, and afterwards by any offender, as a surety of peace and to atone for injury done to the community. The first effect of the new Faith is a fresh sanctity given to human life. Wladimir feared to execute murderers, lest he should do wrong by taking life. But the new view of justice and of punishment which also came from this Faith, taught him that he must repress evil-doers even at the sacrifice of life.
