But a supposition
involved in this
metaphor as bef
above, is that &
which is as above
groundless, is that
though it may be done after, it is
impossible before the
offence crime is
committed to give
expression to
the circumstances
that constitute the
ground for punishment
What must be confessed, is — True it is that were it the quotation to stop here, and with the
above blank in it unnoticed in it, it the quotation might
be in danger of being charged with infidelity: being an unfaithful one.
For time it is, that the time at which the impossibility of being enumerated
or defined is predicated ascribed to of those circumstances
in a the time signified by the word "beforehand": viz.
a length of time preceding the commission of the individual
offence: he it being at the same time predicating predicated <add>in the last preceding page, predicated</add> of the
same circumstances in the prior anterior <add>antecedent</add> page that "after the
"crime is committed it is not only possible but "easy to
"perceive" them, and on the posterior page that, at the same relative period it is
matter of habitual practice to take the general character of
them for the subject of "deliberation". But of these
is a set of general terms which before a this or that crime has
been committed are capable of being employed for the serving to give expression
to the material circumstances of it - the circumstances on which
the propriety or impropriety of punishing the criminal
with death turns depends — of giving expression to those important
circumstances after the crime has been committed —
why the same words should be incapable or
less capable of serving for the giving expression to those
same circumstances after the before that same individual crime has been committed,
remains to be explained by any person, if
such there be, to whom it appears a practicable task
to find any thing like sense or reason in the passages thus
confronted in this explanation and defence of the policy
with the excellence <add>intelligence of</add> which the Reverend doctor is so much enamoured. so completely satisfied.
