Indirect Legislation
Diverting
-cible.
The viciou vices as well as the virtues of mankind men depend
in a considerable degree on their ha the
circumstances they are placed in. Hospitality, it
has been often observed is most practised where
there is most need of occasion for it. It is the same with vengeance.
In a state of nature the fear of private vengeance is the safeguard against injury: it corresponds
to the fear of punishment in in a state of political
society. In proportion as The less the advanced
which a community has made above a state of
nature, the greater the necessity and the demand
for there is for the exertion of private vengeance:
the more perfect this branch of the administration of this branch of justice,
that is, the greater the advance which in this
respect line the community has made beyond the state
of nature, the necessity and the demand there is
for the exertion of private vengeance is the less.
Every improvement therefore in this branch of the administration
of justice thends therefore to weaken the diminish the force of the appetite
of vengeance vindictive appetite , and to divert the current of the desires
from that into other channels.
