Here, from “The Volume Library” of 1928 (A Concise, Graded Repository of Practical and Cultural Knowledge Designed for both Instruction and Reference), is a useful bit of information on the methods of execution practiced in different countries, as well as signifying the publicity of the executions. Of particular note is the technological advancement shown by the United States.
Perhaps even more interesting is the item’s placement in the miscellany: between “Echo” and “Expectation of Life.”
