Of the Lex Talionis

"the same hurt" he has done the (one for might perhaps
add or attempted to do) the party injured.[a] According [Thus,] According to this rule, at least according to the only precise idea I
can form of the rule, if the part insured is as injured injury was done to the in his property property person of or person man, the delinquent should be punished
in his property person; if [in his to the] reputation, in his reputation;
if in his property. This however is not quite
enough: to make the punishment come incontestably
under the rule Law of retaliation, the identity between
the subject of the crime offence and that of the punishment
should be still more specific and determined. If for
example the injury were to a man's house to wit for instance
by the destruction of his house, then the delinquent
should have his house destroy'd; if to his reputation
for instance by causing him to lose a certain rank, then the delinquent
should be made to lose the same rank; if
to his the eyes, by then the criminal should be made
to lose his eyes: if to his life, then tha to to lose
his life: and in general short the more specific and
particular the resemblance between the subject of
the offence and of he punishment, the more strictly
and incontestibly it would appear to come under the
rule. It is where the person is the subject of the
injury that the resemblance is capable of being the
most
