Of Falshoods in general Diss. Punishment
From p- 29 at bottom Thus with regard Punishment
Quality by what considerations governed We now come to consider of the punishments
which it may be proper to apply to the several
modes species of falshood. These upon according to the principles
we set out with ought each of them to be as
strongly as possible characteristic of the several offences.
This will determine the quality.][Quantity The quantity
The As to the quantity, this will be determined by the magnitude of the several
offences to which they may respectively be subservient.
This It may be made variable within the bounds required
on the side of encrease by the addition of circumstances
of an afflictive nature: on that of encrease and that
of diminution both, by the degree of publicity.
Why the for the different species of falshood the punishment is made different The As the impression made by the different species
of falshood on man's the imaginations of those who think of
them are somewhat different, the characteristic punishments
ought accordingly to be different.
Punishment applied in consideration of falshood is either a part of the ordinary punishment or an extra-punishment. Punishment applied on the score of falshood
of any kind will come in sometimes in the character
of a part of the ordinary punishment; as in the
cases where the falshood is of the essence of the offence: at
other times in that of an extra-punishment as in
the cases where the falshood is an accidental concomitant.
