Method of calculating the mischief of an offence

appear in some degree novel, as for the purpose
of exactness it was necessary or should be. But the That it is not visionary.
method itself is at bottom no other than every man
who sets himself to consider the consequences of a
measure of government pursues whether he will or no:
pursues but precipitately perhaps and incompletely
for want of having the several items of the account
register'd, summed up and spread before him.

This method of estimating the mischief of an
offence, and thence of the expediency of a Law
relating to it may put the science in the way That it brings the Law within the competency of Mathematicians
of property by the sagacity of a set of litterati with
whose permits it has not hitherto appeared to
have the most distant communication. Men versed
in mathematics, especially mixt mathematics, may find no incompetent exercise for their skill in
detecting the errors there may be in such a calculation
The more the sciences traffic with each To facilitate the traffic between among the sciences
other, the more they profit. The grand emporium is to increase their inches [It is Metaphysics that is]

of them all is Metaphysics.] Of Metaphysics
more especially which is the common emporium
