1821. April 7. First Lines Explanations
Civil Law

The objects secured against are all of them comprisable
under the name of a single fictitious entity — evil:
but for every practical purpose one or other of the several sources from whence
evil is considered as apt to flow require to be brought to view
by apposite denominations. These may be afforded by one or
other of two epithets annexed to the word evil: viz. the words purely
physical and the wood moral. By purely physical evil is meant to be may
be designated evil which having <add> resulting from every has its source in operations cause
in the operation of which human design mind is not considered as
taking any active part: by moral evil, evil in the production
of which the human mind takes a part more of less active.
In the different situations in which the persons in whose operations
moral evil has its source, are capable of occupying
with relation to those to whom the security is afforded, we have
another an ulterior source of division, and that a perfectly manifest
and practical one. Be they who they may, considered as being
persons from whose operations evil is liable to flow, and
thence as persons against whose aggression security for the several the members of
the community is required, they may, with indisputable
prosperity, be designated by the term adversaries.

These adversaries, in so far as their habitual situation is considered
as being external, with reference to the geographical
limits of the state, are termed external adversaries: in so far
as it is considered as being within those limits internal
adversaries.

As to such internal adversaries

Evils considered in particular; and as being so many
results of operations the operation of performed by adversaries, are termed
injuries.

Internal adversaries, when so far as the security
afforded against injuries of which their agency is the immediate
sources is afforded by the operations of penal law are termed
offenders, delinquents, criminals, malefactors: in so far as no
such security is afforded by those same operations they are comprisable
under the appellation of evil rulers.
