II. 'Disfiguration Disfigurement may in the same manner be
either permanent or transient. It may be performed
either on the person or only on its dress.
When confined to the dress it is not properly
called disfigurement: but only by a natural association of ideas
it has the same effect - To this kind may be reformed
the melancholy notes and frightful made
use of by the Inquisition to give to those who suffer
in public a hideous or terrible appearance.- Some
were clothed in Cloaks of parted to represent flames
others were covered with figures of demons and
different emblems of future torments.
Shaving the head has been a punishment
formerly used - It was part of the penance
inflicted imposed upon adulterous women by the
french laws -
The Chinese attach great importance
to the length of their nails - Cutting them
might therefore be used as a penal disfigurement.
Shaving the Beard might be thus employed
among the russian peasants or a of the
Jews
The permanent means of disfigurement are more limited
The only ones which have been in use and which
may yet be employed in certain countries were applied to
certain parts of the head which may be altered
without destroying the functions which depend on
them those parts. The Common Law of England directs
the the nostrils to be slit or cut off or the Ears external Ears
cut off as the punishment for certain offences - The
first of these punishments has fallen into disuse
