() (Punishments) Analysis
NOTE
I say here in prejudice of the person in question
not upon him: for this latter expression,
unless otherwise explained, my would for seem to
confine the punishment in question to that those species
in which an impression of the physical kind
is made upon his a man's body. But those species
form but a small part of the whole system of
possible punishments.
The possible system of possible punishments
is exactly correspondent to co-extensive with that of the possible
offences against individuals: both of them being determined by that of
the possible evils to which man the production of which a human being may be instrumental.
Whatever mischievous act by being allowed disallow'd
of becomes an offence that same act and on certain occasions prescribed, by being allow'd of, is converted
into a punishment: and if there were any
evils which previous to the in the first instance
could not be inflicted but in the way of punishment
and therefore could not be inflicted by an offence
previous to the establishment institution of such punishment
the distinction would immediately after the institution
of it be at an end: since they would then be
producible if by no other means sort of offence at least by any
such offence against justice as terminates in the
wrongful procurement or wrongful application of such
punishment
