Of Confinement

From p. 21.

Instructions to the Judge

The hardships which are apt to result from
the strangeness of the place to which a man
is confined seem principally to be as follows:

1. The being transferred from the rural scenes
to which he has been accustomed, to other rural scenes
less agreable: from a cultivated country more
cultivated to a country less cultivated: from a country
more inhabited to a country less inhabited: as
well in respect of other animals as of men.
Thus if an inhabitant of any of the populous & pleasant
parts of Europe were banished for instance to
Lapland instead of being amused with by a
continually diversified assemblage of animal and
vegetable productions of all sorts, he would see
nothing but one stupid race of men the Laplanders:
one sort of animals the rein-deer, and
one or two sorts of trees: if he were banished
to certain islands about Newfoundland, the scene
might be still more less diversified: he might would
have no trees nor vegetable productions worth
regarding to look at: and for animals he would
have none but the fish he might might chance to catch for his subsistence

2. The being transferred from one climate to another
climate less agreable: hotter or colder, moister
or drier than that which he had been accustomed
to.
