When so much ingenuity has been by industriousexpended in
giving a systematical arrangement to the diseases
of the Body Natural,
why may not the same course be taken to
advantage, with Crimes?, the with Crimes which, with
reference to the objects, may be termed according
to the common Metaphor, the diseases
of the Body Politic, or, with reference to
the agents actors, the diseases of the mind?

respects the Science Art of Legislation should have
stood been so much less indebted to its Professors
than the art of Healing?
