Difference between real punishment and apparent

produce the expectation of punishment; it is not necessary
that punishment in such a case should have ever actually
been inflicted. It is sufficient if it be effectually denounced.
The expectation of its being [to be] inflicted
comes of course.

⊞ To p.8 [Here again we must make another distinction:
which is between the actual infliction or execution of punishment
and the denuntiation of it: whether by the Legislators or by
those who him to whom where the it depends upon unwritten Law
it belongs to perform the function of the Legislator: to wit the Judge.] To produce
the apparent punishment, or in other words to produce
the expectation of punishment in the minds
of persons liable to become transgressors, one or other
in in every species of offence absolutely necessary:
but not both. The strongest expectation is certainly
that which is produced by the actual infliction of
punishment: but when Government is once formed
the denouncement of it answers the purpose very
well in general. The general habit and disposition
on of Punishment by which government is upholded
applies itself is applied as of course to themselves
of every new-created instance of delinquency as it
arises. When a man sees punishment denounced
he expects to see it inflicted as of course. If in
any case this expectation is either weakened or fails
altogether it is owing to some particular special cause,
to the observation of actual impunity in like cases: or of
some weakness in the Law, which makes impunity
seem
