Epist., Lib. I. Ep. I. 59. " Let children sing Amid their sports, ' Do riglit and be a king.* " t Coasin expresses clearly and forcibly his views of the connection be- tween merit and demerit and the rewards and punishments rightfully inflicted by society. Histoire de la Philosophie du XVIW SiHcle, Vingti6rae Le^on. We copy a single paragrapli from Professor Henry's excellent translation, Elements of Psychology, Chap. V. : — '' Without any doubt, it is usefiil to society to inflict contempt npo...n the violator of moral order; without doubt, it is useful to society to punish effectually the individual who attacks the foundations of social order. This consideration of utility is real ; it is weighty ; but I say that it is not the fii*st, that it is only accessory, and that the immediate basis of all penalty is the idea of the essential' merit and demerit of actions, — the general idea of order, which imperiously demands that the merit and demerit of actions, which is a law of reason and of or- dcr, should be realized in a society that pretends to be rational and well ordered.
