Of Punishments
With regard to the made of punishments which in the
course of this work I have found myself obliged
to propose, there is one thing I would wish the
reader all along to bear in mind; view that for most of these
I have very little predilection. In this kind of
hierarchy the process authority of reason is extremely.
limited. All I can do is to first principles
and draw outlines; the rest must be left
to the capriciousand unsteady suffrages of -
[-ment] and imagination.
In Within
So capricious and so unsteady
are these suffrages,
that the same
punishment which in a
given case or person
has not been able to draw
the intention of without
horror another person
will reprobate as
being too slight to be
of any service.
The case is therefore, that within the boundary
marked out by outlines is properly
making neither as right nor [as] wrong in the
case; One man's judgement is as good as another's ;
and the legislation can have light no other comforts
