less need of punishment
for preventing the dissemination
of it. But if
the demand for punishment
were
proportioned to the mischievousness
of an opinion
supposing it entertained,
in no case
could the demand be
greater than in this.
The more flagrantly absurd any opinion is, the
less need there is of punishments and penal laws
to restrain men from the or the utterance or the adoption of it; but if
on the question whether to punish or attach or not to attach
punishment to as the act of uttering a given opinion eventual punishment
in a view to the prevention of it on the view of preventing it the mischievousness
only point proper to be considered were the mischievousness
of it supposing it concerned generally entertained and acted
upon and not the probability of its being received so entertained
and acted upon the opinion that that which
would otherwise be wrong could by any such
ceremony be converted into right, or that which
would otherwise be right converted into wrong
would be of the number of those crimes for which
the severest punishments would not require to be
reserved.
