Miscell.
Procedure why postponed.
I place the part relative to the offences themselves
before the part relative to the method of Proceding against offenders.
For in the former part there is not necessity
for mentioning the latter: but in the latter there is
continual necessity for mentioning the latter: it supposes
the latter to be already known & understood. The former
is the principal, the latter the accessory: it is for
the sake of giving efficacy to that principal part that this accessory part
is established. The former might subsist and even
possess some degree of efficacy without the latter: for it
might derive some degree of efficacy from the two auxiliary
the moral and religious sanctions: the accessory
without the principal would be altogether useless &
unintelligible.
See Smith on the Wealth of Nations Vol. 2. B. 5. Ch. 2.
p.427. — See also Sketches of the History of Man p.474 &
seq. as quoted by Dr Smith.
Punishment must
rise with the temptation —
Adversaria —
In matters of detail, the limits of the present design will not
permit me to engage in controversy. But in regard to matter of such
fundamental importance it is no more than a homage I owe to one of
the first political Writers of the age, if I take some notice of his sentiments
when I find them, to appearance at least, opposite to mine.
It will be a great satisfaction if I can succeed in pointing out the
source of what I take to be his mistake.
A Proposition the same in substance has also been advanced by another Writer
of great Name. See Prine: of Pen: Law.
