The dissatisfaction of the popular people
There are two conjunctures on which the popular dissatisfaction
of the people may be expected to arise:
1st at hearing reading the description of
the punishment as given in the Law. 2dly at
seeing the punishment itself inflicted at the time
of Execution.

To obviate appease reconcile this dissatisfaction there are measures two different courses
suited to each conjuncture are to be taken at the two different conjunctures.

a in conspicuous characters a short relation
of the crime. The other is to expose
in like manner a painted representation of it.
