" Capital punishment for "a parricide or a poisoner, a Philip the Second or a Napoleon the Third, " seemed delightfully equitable. He had evidently no instinctive or philosophic regard for human life, or a very keen enjoyment of the process of taki...ng an eye for an eye overcame it ; for it was his opinion that an imaginary "dealer in pro- fessional infanticide by starvation might very properly be subjected to vivisection without aucTsthetics, and that all manly and womanly minds not distorted or distracted by pre- possessions or assumptions might rationally and laudably rejoice in the prospect of that legal and equitable process. " Even to Victor Hugo he would not give up this sense of justice, though at a later date he preferred to say merely that it was a horrible notion that such a murderer sliould be "knowingly allowed for one unnecessary hour to desecrate creation and to outrage humanity by the survival of a mon- strous and maleficent existence.
