Capital Punishment examined.
alimentary canal has learnt to perform the office
and even to assume the texture of the stomach.
In like manner does will the mind of men often learn
to accommodate itself to situations which at first
prospect appeared intolerable. Temporary alleviations
of pain are by the contrast converted into pleasures.
When the old sources of enjoyment are found
to be irrecoverably dry, the mind begins insensibly withdraws
itself, from them, and comes learns at length to strike out new
ones. The Duke Count Comte de Spider, the ingenious little
proof specimens of mechanical ingenuity of which
the French Prisoners in England left behind them so many ingenious
specimens at the conclusion of the last war, the
straw-works of the Bicêtre, not to mention any
others are sufficient illustrations of this remark.
Variability is a point of excellencein which the punishment
of Death is more deficient than any other.
It subsists only in one degree. The quantity of each
can neither be encreased nor lessen'd. If then it be
requisite in order to ob attain compass the ends of punishment,
that there should be a certain proportion between
the mischief of each crime and the quantity of its punishment, and crimes be
of different degrees of malignity, how many so ever sorts of
crimes so ever there are dest rising one above another in
this respect, the punishment of death can although if competent
on other accounts, can on this account be
competent
