Before I enter upon examples, I mention it once
for all, and I beg it may be observed, that in
proposing such and such punishments for such &
such crimes I do it merely on the score
of quality analogy. Whether on the score of quantity they
be eligible is a question I am not in a condition
at present to determine. To determine that
we must have measured (as far as in the nature
of things it can be measured) not only the
of each crime, but its nature degree of : that is rather of the quantity of the mischief
produced by it to that produced by
every other crime that is commensurable with it.
But these are speculations amply sufficient to
occupy a work by themselves. The reader will
therefore understand that whatever is here said with
respect to any mode of punishment proposed
as competent to such or such a crime on the
score of analogy is said conditionally only; subject
to be corrected or revised upon consideration
of the quantity of punishment competent to [the
such crime. [in question]

I would farther have it observed, that whatever
Attempts frustrated may otherwise than by the repentance
of the
is said here in the relation to any offence, is said
only upon a general view of it. The particular
circumstance that may come in in particular causes
to aggravate or extenuate it, are not here taken into
