Ends of Punishment

1st April 1778

Is understood that the plan is not yet looked
upon as completed which may be as has not yet received its last

When any act has been committed which
an intelligent Legisl that is followed or threatens to be followed by such
effects as a provident intelligent & faithful Legislator or Magistrate
is concerned to see, (There are) two wishes (that)
naturally and immediately suggest themselves to his
mind: 1st to obviate the danger of the like mischief
in future; 2dly to compensate the mischief
that has been done already.

The mischief that unless obviated may be likely to ensue in future from
in future from acts of the like kind may flow issue from either of
two sources: 1st the conduct of the party himself
who has already been the author of the mischief already
done: 2dly the conduct of such other persons
as may have the same adequate motives and opportunity to do the like
mischief and sufficient opportunities to do the like.

To obviate the danger of the like mischief
in future, is in other words to have apply recourse to such
expedients as restrain or tend to restrain the apprehended
authors from [committing it] being instrumental
in producing it.

To restrain a man from doing any thing there
are two ways: 1st the taking from him the physical power
to do it: 2dly, the will of inclination.
