The Code of Hammurabi is a historical book written by L.W. King. It is a collection of laws and regulations that were established by the Babylonian king, Hammurabi, around 1754 BC. The book contains 282 laws that cover various aspects of life, including trade, property, marriage, and crime. The laws are written in cuneiform script on a stele, which is a tall stone monument. The book provides insights into the social and cultural practices of ancient Babylonian society. It also sheds light on the justice system of the time and the punishments for breaking the law. The Code of Hammurabi is considered one of the earliest examples of written law and has influenced legal systems throughout history. This book is a valuable resource for historians, legal scholars, and anyone interested in ancient civilizations.2. If any one bring an accusation against a man, and the accused go to the river and leap into the river, if he sink in the river his accuser shall take possession of his house. But if the river prove that the accused is not guilty, and he escape unhurt, then he who had brought the accusation shall be put to death, while he who leaped into the river shall take possession of the house that had belonged to his accuser.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
