B. II. Ch. II.
The second has been rarely employed in the
last century—In the works of Pope & his
contemporary writers may be seen how far their
malignity was pleased by allusions to this species
of punishment which had been applied to the
author of a libel in those times.
The cutting off and slitting of the
nose the eyelids & the Ears were once in common
use in Russia without distinction of sex or rank.
They were the common accompaniments of the
and Exile: but it ought to be observed
that the punishment of death was very rare.
Second Section
Of Disablement or Punishments consisting in disabling an
organ.—
To disable an organ is either to
suspend or destroy its use without destroying
the organ itself—
It is not necessary here to enumerate
all the organs, nor all the methods by which
they may be rendered useless.—We have already seen that it would not be
useful to have recourse to a great variety
of afflictive punishments and that these would
be many inconveniences in so doing:—If we
were to follow the law of retaliation the
catalogue of possible punishments would be the
same as that of the possible offences of this kind.
1. The visual organ.—The use of which may be
suspended by the chymical applications or by
mechanical means as with a mask or bandage.
