Discolourment and Disfigurement

Difficulty of
representing the
penal consequences
of the remaining
Punishments.

We now come to state the pains or and other
evils which it is the nature of these two species
of Punishment to produce: I consider them together,
there being so little difference in their
effects. Our road which hitherto has been plain
and easy bears begins now rather difficult to be intricate and perplexing.
Simple attractive punishments are
very easy easy enough to state and estimate: because their
penal consequences are all of one trend, and are seen to take
place immediately upon the application of the
instrument. All others are much more difficult,
because their penal consequences are very various
and of various degrees of uncertainty and remoteness.
Simply afflictive punishments produce
pain pretty much alike in all persons; in every person some. Of
the penal consequences of the other punishments
men are variously sensible: to some of them,⊞ ⊞ such for example as
are very remote some
persons are care not sensible at all: and of those
to which any given man is by supposition sensible,
some being in particular instances such as he would experience as
well although by other means as by that of the punishment in question, are not⊞ ⊞ in those instances
to be placed to the account of punishment.

We are arrived then, and that very early, at
a period of our career at which we must give
up altogether the idea of numbering and summing
up
