Peltier's Trial p. 164 Edit 1803

Mr MacKintosh's speech — It was the moral anger of disinterested spectators
against atrocious crimes, the gravest and most dignified moral
principle which the God of Justice has implanted in the human heart, that of which the dread is the only restraint on the actions of powerful
criminals, & of which the promulgation is the only punishment
that can be inflicted on them. It is a restraint which ought
not to be weakened — it is a punishment no good man
can desire to mitigate.

H. 166 I hope I may venture to say, that no English assembly need
have endured such a sacrifice of eternal justice to any miserable interest
of an hour.

H. 167. If there be a decorum due to exalted rank and authority,
there is also a much more sacred decorum due to virtue +
to human nature, which would be outraged & trampled under
foot, by speaking of guilt in a lukewarm language language,
falsely called moderate.

H170 Those only can defend themselves with valeur, who are
animated by the moral approbation with which they can survey
their sentiments towards others, who are ennobled in their own eyes by a consciousness that they are fighting for justice as well
as well as interest, a consciousness which non can feel, but those
who have felt for the wrongs of their brethren.

H p 89 Libel undefinable.
