It is for the accommodation praise. Go on if, for the advancement of personal interest, or for the gratification of present passion passion blank blank at the expense of lasting personal interest, punishment is applied, justice is the word: if, for the advancement of personal interest in that same quarter, or for the gratification of this or that obsequious companion, official servant interfering gripped it gratuitously or for a price, punishment is for born to be applied, mercy is the word: in the one case, insult is offered to the public in one shape; in the other case, to the other.*In the one in the one case, it is on the score of wisdom that the praise so sure to be bestowed is bestowed – in the other case on this score of humanity, benevolence, charity, clemency, what you please: clemency is a name given to suppose it or alleged magnificence when blank exercised by the blank allusion of punishment and seated on a throne. The greater the aggregate quantity of punishment ordained by law, the greater is the quantity of mercy capable of being exercised by particular prerogative, in opposition to, and at the expense of, the general appointment tenor of the law.
