In the cowrie of the list century. a very general scorer:on ems created throughout Emirtre the severity and injustice of its criiiiinal law. In exciting this reeling, Alootesquieis and Voltaire led the way with distinguished ability and success; but It was 111 a tonsil State and ler a despotic Govern tacit, that this subject was opened to its full ex tent, in the celtbreted work of she 'Alertinie Bee eerie. Ily these writings not only a great change of opinion, but greet improvements in criminal It gielation, were effected in many countries o f rel. rope. The use of torture, notwithstanding it found for a time, like all existirig abuses, its supporters and its advocate,. was generally abolished. The justice, or expediency, of emotel puoisliments, even for crimes tattle first degree. Was questioned ; and bi some very important isistauces tile practice was relniquirlied, with manifest advantage to the inter ests of the co eeeeee unity. The application of the pu iiislunent of death to minor offences was couslorted with still greater success, and a williuguerr was evinced by almost every nation in Europe., to avail itself of the information that had thus hero given, and to lifj its institutions. upon more hummie and cal.glitenerl principles. The most prominent fact; and which could not fail to strike the attention of every writer on this subject, was, that in the application of capital pu toisliments to a great variety of offences, different In their nature And degree, it was impossible for the eitiniiiistrators of justice to apply the threatened punishments with the indiscrintitiatiog rigour re quired by law ; and consequently, that a consilltre hle number, and perhaps a great majority of ellenders, escaped without either imuisliment or cor rection. In order to term •1y a defect so /generous to society, as well as lo alleviate the severity of ex isting laws, two regulations seemed indispensably requisite: Ist, That punishments should be propor tioned to offences ; and ;idly, 'flint when justly in curred, they should he invariably inflicted—and the demonstration of these maxims, soil the inculcation of the necessity of their ardoptimi, form the great and leading feature of altruist every work which has hitherto been published on the subject. Favourable, however. to the interests of the com munity as such a system may appear, and earnestly HS its more general introduction has been recom mended, it may justly be doubted whether, if it could be carried into effect, it would bwittended with the advantages expected from it. Tp define certain crimes by the degree of their enormity, to apply to each a punishinesit proportitilied to the of fence, mid to provide that such punishment shall be invariably inflicted, seems to be the perfectiori of the plan. But it ought not to be forgotten, that these inflictions are out to take place on inert mat ter, fort ois a sentient and intelligent being, ca pable, not merely of bodily sulieriug, but endowed with feelings of remorse, sorrow, penitence, and shame, which vary in every individual, and are implinted by nature in the human bosom, fur the wisest and must important pommies. Dis regarding. however, the effect produced on the patient, the allotted punishment proceeds, equally insensible to the obstinate delialice of burdened guilt, or the agonies and entraat:es of the deep est contrition; and having performed the seine invariable operation on every person subjected to its influence, dismisses them alike, either to persevere in, or reform their conduct, according to the strength of their constitut• , the character of their disposition, or the ',Mute of the circumstances in which they are placed. Such, it is apparent, would be the effect of a sys tem which should proportion the punishment to the crime, and require its invariable infliction, if, in deed, we can for a moment suppose that such a sys tem could ever be established ; but when from re garding it in a general view, we attempt to reduce it into practice, we find no certain relation or coin cidence between crime and punishment, upon which the opinions of mankind can be expected to agree. Thus, the crime of theft has in this country hero punished by whipping, by imprisonment, by trans portation, or by death ; and who shall decide which of these is the most appropriate ? That this often depends upon circumstances extrinsic of the crime itself. all persons will admit. To estimate crimes ley the idea we may form of their degree of moral guilt, and to punish theirs accordingly, may seem to some a task of no great. difficulty ; hut when we pretend to judge of moral guilt, we undertake what it is impossible we should accomplish, and find our selves compelled to rely on those more ostensible in dications only. which affect the interests of society. Accordingly all moralism leave allowed that this is not the criterion upon which a scale of punishinems could be formed. It will 'redid!)s be still con= tended, that as the measure of crimes is the injury done to society, punishments should be so applied as to deter others from the perpetration of offences by the force of example. Nor will this be denied as long as sorts examples alp founded 1111 a priiiciple of strict jostler timards the offender ; but when carried beyoird these butiods, for the mere purpose of deterring other', it is evident there can be ins limits to the severity of ponisfuncits, but that as crimes increase, punishments most be inflicted .• still more limrible and striking," till the further possibility of human suffering is exhausted. If the prevention of crimes by example were the object in view, the punishment must oat be propor i dto the crime committed. but to the he. gurney. facility, or injurious effects the climes apprehended, and must continually vary with those eirconistimers. from the extreme of lenity to that of stverit:..
