Indirect Legislation
To conclude. The great object leading idea of penal criminal legislation
should seems to be this: to reduce all [crimes offences
to such as are susceptible of a pecuniary satisfaction for the mischief of which money is a
cure, and to throw the burthen expence of it on upon the
public delinquents authors themselves, and on their default
upon the public

Reduce all crimes
into such of which
the mischief is
indemnifiable by
money
Summary idea
of legislative
policy
The leading idea postulation problem great point to be aimed at is of penal legislation ought seems
to be this: to reduce as far as may be all
mischiefs to thoseat for which money is a cure;
to throw the expence of that cure upon the
authors, & in their default upon the public.
In this way Towards this point more may be done than perhaps
might at first sight be imagined.
2
Rapacity the
principal source
of crimes:
The great sources of delinquency are first,
enmity hatred, and rapic rap rapacity. The mischiefs ill effects of
lust is indeed are seldom in few instances to be cured by money:
[but these are trifling in comparison of those of
hatred are but] but what the public soff suffers from these in comparison
of what is suffers from those of enmity hatred is is but
trifling: v Gibbon's on the
sack of Rome. T.
I mean am speaking of the real mischief
deducting that which exists only in the imagination
of ascetics, or of those who led blindfold blinded by
the principle delusions of
antipathy
confound what is vitious
in point of taste with what is mischievous
