Restraints on occupations unaccompanied with local confinement can never make any great figure
in a system of punishments. The occupations from
which a man may by be debarred are

such as are necessary gone through in the pursuit
of pleasure. For how can any thing be said to be of use but in a more or less immediate of producing pleasure, or (which comes to the same thing) of pain? Under this head may be comprized lucrative:

obtaining money: money or standing representative of
the whole body [company] band of pleasures; as well as the of
the whole band of pains.

two kinds compose the form together the whole matter
of the Law. Accordingly every thing that can come under the name
