Constitut. Code.
Note (a)?
Among the imperfections of language may be the
not furnishing a denomination which shall do designate in relation
to good that which is done designated by intimidation in relation to evil.
Intimidation is fear-exciting – what is wanted is a single word by
which fear-exciting may expressed.
The more particularly the analogy between punishment
and reward is brought to view the more ample
is the practical practically useful instruction that is conveyed. The more
clearly it is when the dispensing hand in question is the hand of government seen that to reward is to punish the less
and that over and as to whatsoever is above the least quantity experienced
remuneration is depredation; the less difficulty will be brought to extend to the matter
of reward that whatsoever frugality they are not averse to apply in
the case of punishments.
Towards the holding up to view this instructive analogy
something it is hoped has been done in the Theme des et
des recompenses: but I should not on going back
to it I should not expect to find that as much was done
thus done as at present might be done.
