Confirmed via Berkeley Law / Harvard Law School catalog metadata as an English-language Boston imprint of 1830 by James Sega, with the full title concerning duelling, crime, and abolition of capital punishment. The author also appears in modern references under the Italian form Giacomo Sega; the local authority is normalized here to the explicit English byline "James Sega" used on the 1830 imprint.
Quality phase 193: Berkeley Law/Harvard exact record restores [8] preliminary pages and identifies W. Smith as printer; errata follows p. 243 and the volume includes an index.
