§.1. True Ends
15, 6 or 1
Correspondent to these
species of morality are
so many systems of morals.
16 or 7 or 2
The class of affections
from which they arise
is evident on the face
of them.
17 8 or 3
Sympathy with all
feeling beings is the
affection in which
utilitarianism has
its root.
18, 9 or 4
In the self regarding
or dissocial sentimentalism
has its root.
19 or 10 or 5
In utilitarianism enquiries
on morality are
performed by calculation:
— the subjects
of the calculation are
pains & pleasures
traced to their sources.
20, 11 or 6
Morals are to the utilitarian
are if an private individual like physics
a science, its intsruments
experience &
observation. — if a
legislator a science &
art — its instruments
experience observation
& experiment. p1.
21, 12 or 7
Consequently to the
utilitarian moral
disquisition is a work
of much labour to
which not only patience
but great talents
are necessary.
22. 13. 8.
Cæteris omissis the
greater his sympathy
for his sensitive beings
the more persevering &
strenuous will be his
patience in that necessary
labour.
9 23, 14, 9
Want of talent or
sympathy renders the
necessary labour intolerably
irksome to the
sentimentalist.
§.1. True Ends
24, 15, or 10
From his own conscious
incapacity arises envy
& jealousy towards his
more fortunate rivals.
The more coarse &
simple instrument
he has been accustomed
to, disables his hand
from using the nicer
instrument — utilitarianism.
25, 16 or 11
By these dissocial
together with the self
regarding affections, as
often as utility is set
up against him, he
is roused to express
his antipathy in such
terms as may excite
the same antipathy
in others. For this
he uses the language
of scorn by which
in proportion to its
vehemence iff grounded
opinions are
forced into unresisting
minds.
26, 17 or 12
Per a critic "that
"pretious system" &c
as if in mercantile
business one should
say "that pretious
"system which thinks
"to check peculation &c
"by calling for accounts"
27, 18 or 13
So blind is this
partizan or so confident
in the blindness
of his readers, that the
principle of utility is
called dangerous — as
who should call
love of justice unjust
or for a rider in
an unknown road to
see, dangerous. p.3.
