into the account. Such speculation would lead

[Attempts frustrated by any otherwise than by the
repentance of the criminal] offences Indicate inchoate of
the same kind which have failed of success, or have been made to stop
short of perpetration consummation by any other means other than
the repentance of the delinquent may be
punished either with the same punishment of
the same kind death excepted, inferior only in degree. Both
kinds of punishments are in their nature variable
to any degree of mildness or severity that can
be required. And this degree far from being
left to the Executioner, need not be left altogether
even by to the Judge: it may be fixed to
a very considerable degree of nicety even by
the Legislator.

If searching be employ'd, the g severity of the
punishment may be governed exactly [by the following
circumstances,] in the following manner.

1. Let the part of the body be fixed: for example the small
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
score but that of decency, the buttock.

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.
