Сторінка 288 - Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for God made man in his own image.
Сторінка 17 - It is a melancholy truth, that, among the variety of actions which men are daily liable to commit, no less than a hundred and sixty have been declared, by act of parliament, to be felonies without benefit of clergy ; or, in other words, to be worthy of instant death.
Сторінка 185 - Than the soft myrtle: but man, proud man, Drest in a little brief authority, Most ignorant of what he's most assured, His glassy essence, like an angry ape, Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven As make the angels weep; who, with our spleens, Would all themselves laugh mortal.

Сторінка 16 - If mathematical calculation could be applied to the obscure and infinite combinations of human actions, there might be a corresponding scale of punishments, descending from the greatest to the least: but it will be sufficient that the wise legislator mark the principal divisions, without disturbing the order, lest to crimes of the first degree be assigned punishments of the last.
Сторінка 2 - The learned, the judicious, the pious Boerhaave relates that he never saw a criminal dragged to execution without asking himself: 'Who knows whether this man is not less culpable than me?' On the days when the prisons of this city are emptied into the grave let every spectator of the dreadful procession put the same question to his own heart.
