Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1772 edition. Excerpt: ...convulsions; and; instead of maintaining, destroyed the connections; mournful humanity sent forth the cry of grief, and saw too late, that the tortures of the executioner never inspire virtue (a)." CHAP. (a) When we examine the validity of that right which human societies have assumed of punishing with death, we are terrified at the imperceptible point which separates equity from injustice. It is to little purpose here that we accumulate arguments; all our lights serve but to lead us astray; we must return to the law of nature only, which has far more regard than our institutions, for the lise of a man; that teaches us, that the law of retaliation is, of all others, the most conformable to right reason. Among rising governments, which have yet the signature of nature, there is scarce any crime punished with death. In the case of murder there is no doubt; for nature tells us, that we should arm ourselves against assassins CHAP. XVII. Not so far off as we thought. WE conversed a long time on this important subject; but as we became earnestly engaged, and our debate wanted that serenity which is so necessary in an inquiry after truth, I thus bluntly sins; but in the cafe of robbery, the inhuinanity of inflicting death is notorious; it is a punishment that bears no proportion to the crime; and the voice of millions of men, worshippers of gold, can never make that authentic, which is in its nature invalid. It will be said, " The robber made a contract with me to be punished with death if he invaded my property;" but no man has a right to make such a contract, as it is unjust, barbarous, and senseless; unjust, as his lise is not his own; barbarous, as no proportion is observed; and senseless, as it is incomparably more eligible that two men...
