§.

{The} pleasures derivable from this source have this
{almost} peculiar property belonging to them: — in so far as they the
pursuit of them is recommended by self-regarding teleolectic
prudence, so is it by beneficence.

These Pleasures
with
by beneficence
as well as
prudence.

Let the desire by which the pursuit is produced let
it be purely of the self-regarding kind, without the least
tincture of the social: let it be purely selfish, without
the least tincture of benevolence. Still the effects of it are
not the less partly beneficial to all the parties interested concerned:
In the ultimate result the interest of the person courting may be served or not
served, as it may happen: but in the mean time, with
a degree of certainty scarcely inferior to that with which
they would could have been served by the pursuit of the
well-being of the person — courted himself carried on by his
own labours, his interest is served his well-being is
promoted.

If the desire
of them be selfish
only, the effect
beneficial. Whether
the person courting
be served or not
the courted one
is.

By the supposition it is not by sympathy — it is
not by the partly/purely social principle — it is not by benevolence
that the services are have been produced, the well-being of
the party in question in so far as those services have
been effectual, promoted. But setting aside effects of the
2d order, the good produced is just the same is just as
valuable, as if it had, had for for its final and efficient
cause, the purely social principle. Benevolence, to what
does it owe its value? to this and this alone, viz
its aptitude tendency and aptitude, to be productive of produce
the effects of beneficence.

8
These services not
produced by sympathy
But the
good product the
same
