Punishment

As far as any difference can be observedpreserved between
objects so intimately allied it is punishment in the
1st & 2d of these senses that we the act of punishing<add>and particularly the first punishment, I mean as synonymous to the act
of punishing</add> shall have most frequentprincipally
in view: since it is the assemblage of th such acts that constitutes
the practice which it is the object of the following disquisitions
to direct. It will be impossible however to
avoid complying so far with ordinary language as to
the use the word indiscriminately in all these significations.
This impropriety will it is to be hoped be
attended with no great inconvenience; 1st, because what
is said applied to the word in one sense will in many
cases apply to it with equal propriety in the rest: 2ly because where
that is not the case, the distinction will in mostmany instances
be apt enough to occurr without being pointed out: 3dly
because having been once pointed out it to retain it and apply it wherever the occasion shall
occurr.

So much for the word. We come now to the Definition. p4
thing itself. Punishment, it should seem, may be
defined, an evil resulting from the to a person, from
the direct intention of another, on account of some act
that appears to have b been done. or omitted The propriety of this definition can
only be evinced and the use of it manifested, by taking
it to pieces and examining the several constitituent parts
of it.
