Indirect legislation. These I proposed to publish
at the same time together, in order to take at
the same time the sense of two different sets of
readers: the Introduction being is destined for the few
(who have patience and (capacity) strength of mind
to comprehend general embrace a set of fundamental principles and in all their extent, & patience to follow
up a long thread of metaphysical discussions) which
are capable of digesting metaphysics. The
Essay on Indirect legislation being like that on reward full of
matters propositions of detail, and illustrations drawn
from the actual laws of different nations, will
I hope like that be somewhat more popular less unpopular and
better suited less ill suited to the relish and powers
of the bulk of readers. What I shall finish next Whether when these
are off I shall apply proceed in the next place
to finish the Essay on Reward, or
that on the Forms influence of place and time
which I think likewise of throwing into a small but
on matters of legislation separate work, or Book the 1st of
the penal code, or whether before I publish
the latter I shall wait will I have settled the
terms as well as the plan of the civil
code, in order that (the its connection with) the boundary line between that & the penal
code may be distinctly & specifically marked out in every part, I have not yet determined.
