Sanctions are distinguishable into two two classes arrangeable according to their nature, or
according to their sources. According to their nature they are
either punitory, by pain or loss of pleasure, by it remunatory by
pleasure of exemption from pain. They are divisable into
the physical, the moral social, the moral, the political & the religious.
From all these sources proceed both penalties & recompenses – both
pains & pleasures.

The physical sanction concerns a man's person physically & psychologically considered
as experienced in the pains & pleasures affecting the body.
It is in the ordinary derived from the physical construction of man in general and will
be modified by the peculiar sensibilities of the individual.
Generally speaking the physical sanction may be considered
as that influence growing out of the ordinary course of things which is the natural result of brought to bear upon any
action or actions without reference to the will of others. It is that influence which is not produced independent
by of motives derived from other sources than foreign to the
individual – it is the sanction which would exist in all its force if a
man were isolated from the world – if he had no communion with
his fellow men, & no belief in the superintendence of providence.
It represents those pains & pleasures which do not directly emanate from
his social, – political, or religious position – tho' it is the ground
work of all the power of all all of the everyother inducements, for it is only by their influence on the man's physical
virtues organization, – only by their power of producing suffering or enjoyment in the individual
that they can become motives to action.
