Indirect Legislation § 6

Political

7

1. Expedient 2
Imprinting on each
person an indelible
instructive
mark.

It would be a defect if on this occasion I
omitted to suggest an expedient [or rather combination
of expedients] which however violent and
however remote from the ordinary track of legislative
policy carries upon the face of it a strong
presumption of its efficacy on for the purpose

in question, and thereby of it's proving a most powerful
preservative against a large department
in the catalogue of crimes. This I mean neither
more nor less than a set of laws requiring
providing for the setting a distinguishing mark,
conspicuous and indelible, upon every member of
the community.

8

The eligibility of
such an expedient
upon the whole
not proposed to be
discussed

But [having said thus much] before
I say a syllable farther, I must again give warning,
that nothing neither in regard to this nor
in regard to any other of the expedients which I
have brought to view do I mean by any thing
that is here said of them to give pass a definitive judgment
in favour of their adoption. The business
of the present work is only to give a not in any part of it to do
more than give a view of abstract utility in the
abstract, local customs establishments and local
sentiments
