from blind reverence, from habit, from
inattention from timidity
Those gross obscene & jarring principles which hitherto
have been in possession of governing
the decisions on this head.
That men may understand,
that tho' they
do not actually propose
to themselves the
of the calamitous
event, they are to take
care not to use such
instruments from which the
such an event is any
ways likely to — but
who shall mark out by
penal aphorisms the degrees
of probability? The Judges have been led to attempt undertake it — but with such
miserable success as points out in a striking manner
the impossibility of the attempt.
As we observed under the title of accident that the gradations and
the obviousness of connection between the energy & the calamitous
accident were too impossible to be masked out by general & permanent
rules so we may here observe that the modifications of countenance
gesture and discourse are manner
from the combination of which 3 classes the
intention is to be collected, are in a manner infinite it appears
at first sight & I believe the most
studious examination will confirm that the
appearance) impossible to comprize them
within any general Rules — In no two
cases will the combination be perfectly
When as I have the gradations of
guilt are so equivocal
& insensible, such ghastly
precipices in the Scale
of punishment, immediately
from impunity
mounting up to is contiguous to ruin/t may
ruin, betray evidently
the hasty workmanship
of a rude age: & call
for the hand of a better
to smooth them down. lay them smooth
