in B.1. Ch. Instruments etc. §. Deceptions practice

Even laying out of the case the use made of
this all-initiating instrument, suppose the vexation

of all parties may still require that the wrongdoer should
be made responsible for it: were it only for the purpose

into such a heap, the burden of which would
be to such a degree intolerable as to render life
unendurable. Let it here be considered that, if
suffering producible by delinquency, may be found
in particles next to nothing in magnitude suffering
in the shape of punishment, including burden
of compensation is resolvable into particles of correspondent

under the name of punishment, and under the name of compensation
