the same kind death excepted, inferior only in degree. Both
kinds of punishments are in their nature variable

a very considerable degree of nicety even by
the Legislator.

of the back: keeping to such a distance on either
side from the back bone to avoid injuring the
spinal marrow: or what would be better on every

2. The fuel: oil suppose in a lamp.
3. The number and diameter of the wicks.
4. The distance from the top of the wick to the
body of the patient.
