CLASSIFICATION. from the End. Objection to - Class. from the Physical appearance.

It may be is an objection to a System constructed in
this method that it cannot answer the purpose
of a help to the discovery of the moral aspect
of the several offences which form the vehicle of it, since it presupposes that
effect to be known.

The most obvious use of a classical arrangement
is to laid guide those who are as yet unaccommodated
with the articles composed in it to the
of any article which they are desirous to become
acquainted with: i.e. to such of its qualities of that article, as not being obvious they are not acquainted
with already, & which therefore it is the end business
of the treatise to investigate expose = exhibit. Now in offences
that quality which is not obvious is the moral
effect nature, or if the another expression be preferred, the
political effect: and that which is obvious, is the
physical appearance. Now then it so happens,
that the 1st of these qualities is not consonant to
the 2d: those articles oftentimes each
other in respect of the one, which differ altogether in
respect of the other. That arrangement therefore
in which the propinquity of the several articles & not is determined by

their resemblance in the one respect, is different
from the arrangement in which that propinquity
is decided by their resemblance in the other
respect.

If then the physical appearance is all
that a reader is acquainted with, he will not
know how to pick out the article he may
want from a number of others, disposed
as here according to their moral nature.

If he wanted to find Suicide, he would naturally expect
look for it to find it under some such title
as Homicide along with Manslaughter
& Murder; because the physical appearance (however wide they may be shewn to be in
their moral nature) is what these 3 offences acts
if the 1st be otherwise understood than as included under
either of the 2 others, have in common.
Answer — The articles all together are but few,
& these differently arranged are still much
fewer, therefore presently discernible —
However let the Classification from the Physical
appearance be given

Four methods or Sources
of Classification.
1st From th End
[ie of the treatise]
2. From the Motives [to the offences]
3. From the Physical
appearance
4. From the Political
Treatment.

One hardly knows
what name to give
to that source from
whence Offences are
divided (in Blackstone's
sense of the
words) into Public
& Private.
