1 Indignation as we defined it (Def. of the Emotions,
2 xx.) is necessarily evil (IV. xlv.); we may, however, remark
3 that, when the sovereign power for the sake of preserving peace
4 punishes a citizen who has injured another, it should not be said
5 to be indignant with the criminal, for it is not incited by
6 hatred to ruin him, it is led by a sense of duty to punish him.
