[Pumihments.] The famé ruies (it is to be ob~erved) may be applied, with )itt!& variation, to rewards as well as puniihment: in ûiort, to motives in generai, wMch, according as they are of the pleafttrabte or painfui kind, are of the nature of ~"HM~ or J ~e«~«M~ and, according as the a~t they are applied to produce M of the pofitive or négative kind, are âilëd impelling or reHraining.
