He was the first influential man in England to attempt to bring about the abolition of capital punishment When he entered public ,life the English statutes punished with death nearly 300 crimes, ranging from murder and treason down to keeping company with gypsies. Itomilly, who waS of French descent, secured the repeal of these codes. Romilly was devoted to his wife, and when she died, October 29, 1818, the philanthropist fell into a delirium at grief. Four days later his grief had so preyed on his mind that he killed himself. Subscribe for The Democrat
