"The wisdom and humanity of this design"(continues he)" furnish
"a just excuse for the multiplicity of capital offences,
"which the laws of England are accused of sting beyond
"those of other countries." Lame and slovenly the expression
has too: but among such offences againthe offences against logic not those
against grammar are the transgressions that belong to
the present purpose.
Of a design he still continues to assumeto affect and more than affect the
existence. But where the head is, other than his own excepted his own

"The charge of cruelty" (continues he)"is answered
"by observing, that these laws were never cant to be
"carried into indiscriminate execution; that the legislation,
when it establishes its last and highest sanctions,
" trusts to the longevity of the crown to relax their severity,
" as often as circumstances appear to palliate the offence,
"or even as often as their circumstances of aggravation
"are anting, which rendered this rigorous interposition
"necessary".
"Answered? - Yes indeed:- but how?in a contrary state:<add>sort, yes:but in what sort?
These laws never meant to be carried into indiscriminate
execution? No certainly:surely so long as any such power
as the powers of pardon is known to exist, any other formal
laws, of the formal class, that can be ed. But in this
observation what is there that applies with any exclusive or
peculiar form to the particular class of formal laws known in question? these to get by
which death is aorated for a punishment?
