Imagination
It is the real punishment that does all the
mischief: it is the apparent punishment that does
almost all the benefit: the business is therefore out
of the necessary a given quantity of the former to make
as much as possible of the latter. Humanity
consists in seeming to be cruel
In the draught final code I have ventured taken
upon to propose every offence that requires a degree of
severity equal to that of a punishment by in
which the person is concerned which touches the person of the offender, has its
distinct and characteristic punishment.
The best road to the passions is through the eye. Preach then to the eye if you would preach
with efficacy. The precept is as old as Horace
and the experience that dictated it as old as the
first man. Every body feels All men feel the truth of it, and
turns it to account strives endeavours to make the most: The player, the montebank,
the orator, the dev divine: every body but the legislator.
Let the your punishments be exemplary:
let the ceremonies that accompany the execution
be as exemplary as possible. Call in the assistance
of the imitative arts and let the representations of
these important operations be among the first objects
that meet the eye of infancy.
