Indirect Legislation
Satisfying
When I say the infamy [of their situation]
is the offspring of the law, I only mean that intense
degree of infamy which is productive of the
mischiefs above-mentioned. A certain degree of
infamy disrepute would always be stand annexed to it, by
the moral sanction , tho' the political were to sanction
remain neuter as to any provisions of the penal
kind were to remain neuter: the force of the
moral sanction seconded by those civil institutions
by which the illegitimacy of the offspring and
the other civil disabilities which mark the inferiority of their condition were constituted, would
be sufficient for this purpose.
