employed generally employed throughout
Europe against Magic for the crimes of Magic & Heresy, the first an offence puely
immaginary, and heresy the second a simple difference of
religious opinion, perfectly innocent, often useful
and of where with respect to which the only effect of punishment
is to produce insincerity.

Fire may be employed as an
Instrument of punishment without occasioning
death. As This degree of severity punishment is
variable through all the inits nature through all the
degrees of severity of which there can be any
need. It would be necessary carefully to
determine in the text of the Law, the
part of the body which ought to be exposed
to the action of the fire, – the modes of intensity of the
operation by a Lamp, the number of fire, and the time during which it is to be
minutes applied, and the paraphernalia to be employed
to increase the terror of the punishment. In order to render
the description more striking a print might
be annexed in which the operation were shuld be
represented.

Inundation is an offence less common
than Incendiarism: in some countries it
is altogether unexampled, it can only be
perpetrated in Countries that are intersected by
waters confined by artificial Banks. It is
susceptible of every degree of aggravation from
the highest to the lowest. If the offence consist
merely in inundation, in it effect it amounts
only to a simple destruction of property.
