B 1. Ch. 1.

Take whatever portion of the matter of evil
is upon the Carpet, whether the term punishment
shall or shall not with propriety be applied, depends
upon the position in which the actual result
stands with reference to the time in which
the will or intention of the agent acts.

Intentional or unintentional: if intentional
directly or indirectly, or to use another word
collaterally intentional; if directly ultimately
or but mediately intentional such are the
modifications which the matter of evil
may be considered as receiving, when considered
in the character of an object to which the
will or intention turns itself.

In some cases the man in power or
some person or persons having as he supposes
received at the hands of some person or
other, evil in some shape or other the object
which he has in view in the infliction of
the end in question is an enjoyment of a
certain kind which he derives or expects to derive
from the contemplation of the evil thus sustained.
In this case the act in question is termed an act of
vengeance.

So far as this and this alone, is his
object this evil thus produced is not only
directly but ultimately intentional.

Whether in the character of a sole object,
a result of this nature be a fit object for the man
in power to propose to himself, is indeed a very
important question, but one which has no place here:
punishment by being misapplied is not the less
punishment.
