obstacles of the physical kind such as the walls of a prison,
to the exercise of the loco-motive powers. This species of Confinement
is what is called Imprisonment.

The several possible kinds of confinement when produced by
restraints of the moral kind may be thus conceived. With respect to
any place or district whatsoever a man must be either in it or out
of it.[a] If in it, he may be may be restrained either from staying in
or from going out of it: if out of it, either from staying out of it or
from going into it.[b] When a man is restrained in this way from
staying

Notes.

[a] This division may be observed by a critical Eye not to be strictly speaking
an exhaustive one, since one case equally possible with the two foregoing
is not taken into the account: to with that of a man's living partly
in the place in question, and partly out of it. It will be easy for any
one who that pleases chooses it to alter the analysis in his own mind so as to admit
of that case. I durst not venture to do it in print for fear of appearing
ridiculously minute.

[b] There are some perhaps to whom a display of particulars
seemingly so obvious as the possible conditions of a man with respect to
place may appear trifling and pedantic. But I am warranted by experience
in pronouncing it to be nothing less than superfluous. It was for

Whenever then a punishment
of this class is so inflicted, the
whole surface of the globe is
for this purpose divided as
it were into at best two districts:
the one in which the party
is permitted to be; the other in
which he is not permitted
to be: the one which is left
open to him; the other from
which he stands excluded.
Of these two districts, if they
are not exactly equal (which
in fact will never be the
case), the one or the other
will be the greater. Furthermore,
in the one or the other
of these the place of his abode,
if it be not partly in
one and partly in the other
(which in fact will scarce ever
be the case,) must be included.
