Limits of Indirect Legislation try whether they can
be assigned.The ca Policy of this Law belongs necessarily not properly to this work the design of this performance work: but only the more or less advantageous way of expressing the design purpose of it.
The motives to for all sorts of Crimes are more & more curtailed by by or without a penalty of this magnitude
the great increase in the means of employment in the
great increase of manufactured riches — Hence At the same [in
great measure the] one reason, why there are fewer crimes
committed in the present times of opulence, than in past times
of indigence & barbarism. On the other hand they
are increased [by and opportunities are also increased] by
the increase of the temptation arising from by the superior gratification
of which those riches hold out the prospect by
their superior elaboration which heightens more & more the contrast between indigence & opulence — the opportunities are also
increased by their superior plenty.
Indirect Legislation is employed to advantage on one or
another or all 3 of these accounts — 1st the conquering over
Evil at a less expense of Punishment than could be done
in the direct way — 2d the extirpating it more effectually
by attacking it in it's cause higher up in the spreading System of causes & effects - As Blood would be sooner discharged through a vein nearer than further from the Heart: — 3.dly The attacking of a
practise which tho' an evil, men of power may have
an Interest to support: or ex converso establishing one, which, tho' really
a benefit, they have an Interest to overthrow.
This latter purpose becomes every day less & less proper
to recur as the bulk of the people become more & more
enlightened, & more & more watchful over the public
good.
It was employed in barbarous ages with advantage & effect
by Hr 7th in encouraging
the disposition alienation of property inter
vivos, in his Statute Against Retainers & & by his Son in permitting it to be disposed of
after death by Testament.
It's good effect in those times forms an argument for
it's being now employed — It's good effect was thus far
casual, as being beside the intention of the contrary
