To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

[See Appendix, Note B.] The principles laid down by Beccarla^ that punishments should be certain and imme- diate, and proportioned to the offence, are so thoroughly founded on the principles of hu- man nature, that, when capable of being fully carried into practice, they will keep in effective check the vicious habits of the most unreasoning and instinctive of the human family. It Is, moreover, not a little instructive to find, from an excellent work on dog -breaking by Col.
Hutcheson, that his
... maxims founded upon his experience with brutes, (if that term is not a libel upon the four-footed friends of men) tally exactly with those of the philosophic Italian.
For many years much of our own time has been occupied in subduing the vicious habits of persons of weak intellect: these efforts have been attended with a sufficient amount of success to convince us that no amount of emotional or Instinctive self-indulgence, how- ever established and confirmed by inveterate habit, can maintain its ground against a cor- rective discipline, watchful, patient, untiring, and systematic.
