Indirect Legislation
Non-seducing 5 §
this objection is valid, the surgeon ought not to cut
off a finger to save an arm: the judge ought not
to perform his office: the parent ought not to
chasen his offending chastise his froward child. Here too is another
case for instruction to raise her voice.
So true just is the observation of Helvetius & M. Beccaria §. 22. edit. Mondel
that the univ in the business of government managing the affairs of society , political
measures policy and morality ought to go hand
in hand: and so false the vulgar notion, of their which
being pronounces them incompatible.
It must be confessed that how universally true
so ever it may be that to minister to the execution
of the law [the law [ it not being such as the party
in question is clearly persuaded is a pernicious
one] is not immoral, yet it will not be so easy
to convince the people of it in some cases as in
others. In the cases of smuggling for instance or contraband
trade it will not be so easy as in the
case of parricide or incendiarism: in fact in the
cases of some offences which affect the public only
as in cases in which affect individuals like are
seen to be affected. This should be a warning to the
legislator to proportion the pains which he takes in
the way of instruction to the strength of the prejudice
[or the of the blindness] which it has to combat.
and the nor is the [possible incorrigibility] chance of its
proving
