the invitation but too frequently accepted.
The severity of the punishment of drenching
depends upon the ratio between the quantity of water
taken remaining in the patient's body at a time, and
his capacity to hold it. This I should conceive
might be measured with an accuracy nearly
equal to that which might be employ'd in the
case of scorching. But the former example, I hope
may as an example may suffice.⊞ ⊞ Were I of the number of those privileged writers whose ⊞ As a Legislator were I were any words to become a Law I should think no trouble of this kind too great. But in my the humble station [of a projector] the reader will I hope excuse me if I [I will]
spare myself the pain of insisting any farther
on so tedious and disagreeable a topic.
From p.
Perjury is either promissive or assertive. Assertive
is either Judicial or extra-judicial. Judicial
is either in a civil criminal suit or a civil. Perjury
in a criminal suit is either criminative or
exculpative. Criminative Perjury where the crime
sworn is of a first rate crime, may be punished
if unsuccessful, by the slitting of the tongue:
if successful by cutting it clean out.
