3.
B.2. Ch.9

If strong the prohibition will be eluded; if
weak the object desired will not be obtained.

In respect of Exemplarity they
are equally defective. The privations they
occasion are not of a nature to be generally
known or if known to produce a strong effect upon
the imagination: the misery they produce rankles
in the mind; but is completely hidden from
the public eye.

These are some of the circumstances
which have reduced the employment
of these Punishments within so narrow a
compass. They are too uncertain in their
effects, & too easily eluded to allow of their use
as the sanction to a general law. It is
true that where a if Judges is were acquainted
with the characters and circumstances of
individuals they might avail themselves
of them with good effect; but this knowledge can
scarcely ever be hoped expected.

This species of punishment is
well suited to domestic government. There
is no pleasure which a parent or teacher
cannot employ as a reward by permitting
its enjoyment or convert into a source of
punishment by restricting its use.

But though restraints of this
nature, that is to say prohibition of agreeable
occupation, do not alone form effective punishments
there is one case in which they are may be usefully
employed in addition to some other punishment –
Analogy recommends such employment of them.
