15 In the view For the purpose of obtaining money, reputation, or the
matter of good in any shape, giving without due consideration utterance to discourses
having for their object or their tendency the causing
men to debar themselves from the enjoyment of pleasure
in a shape not preponderantly noxious, is a species of
injury act analogous to the act of him who, for the saving
of an equal quantity of the matter of wealth or of the matter
of good in any other shape, should instead of causing
the such filth or in any other shape is has been produced in his house, to
be conveyed away by some unavisance mode of conveyance
such as is supplied by the established practice of the place supplies
should, by throwing it out at throw cast it out of the window
upon the heads of passengers, and in respect the instance
of each respective sufferer, the magnitude of the injury thus
inflicted will be as the magnitude of the pain uneasiness sustained
in the one case, compared with the magnitude of the loss
of pleasure sustained in the other case.

16. He who, in a discourse having for its subject any part of the
field of morals deals out he ought at random, and
without any specific grounds produced or referred to, has
ought and his ought not — his injunction or declared approbation
attached to this or that act — his prohibition or declared disapprobation
to that other, may be compared to the a careless
housemaid, who without regard to the heads upon which
it might chance to fall upon, should cast the contents
of her receiving pail into a crowded street, out of an upper
window.
