Deformation, Disablement and Mutilation examined.

such finger belonged would be to another man: for
the loss of a single joint might take away the
livelyhood of the first, with and not affect that
of the second.

This exemplarity of a mode of punishment depends
upon two circumstances: the relative force of the impression
which it is added calculated to make on the mind
of a spectator: and the frequency with which it
is likely to meet his view.

As to the relative force of the impression this seems to
be as great in the kinds of punishment here in
question as in any other that can be assigned⊞ ⊞ except simple afflictive punishment: for
I know of no particular reason that can be given respecting this,
more than any other why any part of the penal consequences
which may result from the operation
should be less expected by adverted to a bystander than by the
suffering himself. With simple afflictive punishment
however this as well as all other modes of punishment
shew to great disadvantage. That punishment not
being naturally attended with any distant consequences (the
infamy excepted) the whole quantity of pain it is
calculated to produce is collected as it were into
a point and exposed at once in full view to the eyes of a
spectator.
