of disapprobation. In moderate such disapprobation
I would beg him to consider, that the whole business
of punishment is but a choice of evils.
nothing that bears the name of punishment
is to be approved of by itself : and that
all that can be done by man on such an
occasion is to exhibit a punishment which
for the purpose it is applied to shall be as
liable to objection as any others that can
be assigned : that therefore in order to convince himself
to reject any mode of punishment a
man should always be prepared to assign
a better one just as if achievable : that the
of assigning new mode of punishment
is to be governed by the total results of a
multitude of considerations : and that therefore
a mode of punishment which might at first view
might appear suggest itself as being preferable to that in question,
might on a more particular examination be found on some account or other to be absolutely
improper unacceptable to the case.
I would beg him to be assured that
I have no howsoever it may appear to him
I have no real delight in the of
mankind; neither not even in the sufferings of the guilty,
