CHILD MURDER. HOMICIDE Of Infants [BR][17]
have enjoyed if he had lived, it is evident they cannot with
any propriety be taken into the account; for upon the same
principle a man might be called to account for all
the pleasures which might have been enjoyed by all
the Children which he might have had if he had
employed his generative productive faculty to the greatest 1 advantage 3
possible; 2 an Idea too absurdly romantic to
upon - Now it is evident a being having such a
sort of existence is on the same footing in this respect with a non-existent
being: both equally devoid if not of sentiment yet of reflection one equally incapable of anticipating
and regretting what they it lose.
As to the mischief to the State; that must arise consist
from in the loss [of the product] of the labor of the benefit of the
person in question employed either a benefit which consists arises from either either first in the
quantity of the Instruments of enjoyment which he furnishes
to the State beyond what he himself consumes
or secondly in his being employed in the defence + + that is standing as one among a certain number whatever that be of men out of whom it falls to the lot of one to one if chosen for that engage in that service. - in
one way he is said to contribute to the riches of the
State; in the other, to its strength — now for of neither is
he capable fit 'till the age one may venture to say of 16
at the earliest; and it is to be observed that up to at
least half that age in point of riches stren he is a loss;
up to that age or beyond in point of strength he is no
accession — in point of riches he is a loss; since the labor of persons a part of the stock of
labor is diverted from that end to the providing him for his
with sustenance with his safety security & with his instruction. The
period therefore at which he becomes a clear acquisition
