J. B. & France against Death ++

ulto
Death
§. VI. Cause of attachment
1. Monarch's

§. VI. Cause of the attachment attachment of rulers to death-punishment.


1
Stated already — if
death punishment has been
the cause not its aptitude
but of sinister
interest — interest-begetting
authority begotten and custom-
begotten prejudice.
Classes in whose breasts
are lodged these causes
of error and misconduct,
Monarch, Aristocrats
and Judges, particularly
English

That of the almost universal application made of death punishment
its aptitude to the purposes of punishment has not been the
cause — that the causes by which it has been produced are
of an altogether different and nature — that sinister
interest, interest-begotten prejudice, authority-begotten prejudice,
and custom-begotten prejudice constitute the list
of those same causes — this is what has been these
several several operations have already been submitted to gain consideration
So In have been regard to the sinister interest, the so have been an intimation
of the The several distinguishable classes and denominations of
persons in whose whose breasts it appears to me that their several political situation situations
have lodged this same sinister cause of waywardness: namely, M Monarchs
A Aristocrats in general, Judges in particular more especially and Advocates.
Judges

As to Monarchs
shewn already in §. V
have the sinister
interest by which they are
attached to it

Now as to Aristocrats

As to Monarchs, that Monarchs, that with no small force in their breasts sinister interest
operates, and with no small force, in such direction as to cause them to clasp hold fast
of
cling to this institution and not suffer it to drop out of the list
of punishments, has has just been not only asserted, but I flatter
if I do not over flatter my self sufficiently and not unsatisfactorily demonstrated and made apparent manifest.

Now then Next comes to be stated upon the carpet the case of Aristocrats in
general of the members of an Aristocracy in its several
branches.
