Evils affecting individuals
and to for
be which remediesd by to be
provided by law by the security it offered are
Offences affecting person
and offering affecting body
and mind

Evils to be remedied by
repressive branch of the
law are Offences affecting
person body and mind

Among the evils affecting individuals are such to their
separate capacity The evils practice against which it is the business of the law to, the
security it affords to arrest are briefly if not exclusively
those by which person in its two choices body and mind
one or both are affected those evils which which be several
maleficent acts by which they are respectively produced, gives
to these acts as far as they are by the law taken for the subjects of its prohibition
the names of offences affecting person offences
affecting the body and by that means of course the mind;
and offences which without producing pain of body are productive
of pain of mind.

13

desire

The evils against which it is the business of law by the

14
First principles of
justice appealed of under
existing system

Continually you are hearing or reading appeals made
to the first principle of justice, or to every principle of justice.
Wherever you are or hear this either it is a mere way of
speaking indicative of nothing but his desires, and the opinion
really real or pretended of the relative or speculative
always it is the non disappointment principle that is in
view. No matter if it is made, for only tell of later days
has it ever been named or distinctly brought to view:
but that it is, if any thing that is meant.

Astrea. These then are the ends the all-comprehensive and specific
towards which or some one or more of them every operation
performed by government according to law every law trumpet emanating from government
ought to be, and according to the in so far as the principle laid
down by Felice is conformed to will be directed.

But
When use is made of
these phrases justice only as
applied to cases called
civil is in view:
justice employed in the
distribution of one or other
of the abovementioned
objects of desire: for as
to justice applied in cases
called penal, the
consideration by which it
is governed are altogether
different.
