As it is with the individual so is it with the
species. For a considerable length of time the self regarding
affections occupy exclusively or almost exclusively
the whole field of the mind. During this period the physical
sanction as above explained is the only one that
can operate in restraint of the propensity produced
by the view & desire of present immediate pleasure, or of pr
exemption from present or immediate pain — Next
to the self regarding affections come the dissocial; to use
a phrase employed by Aristotle, but now not much in
use, next to the conssupissible appetite comes the irascible;
though the feeling correspond to the two appetites
are so different yet in respect of the sanction resulting
from them, i—e the nature of the restraint
they tend to impose, they operate towards the same
end: the concupissible appetite of each individual
experiences a check from the prospect of the evil effects
producible to his detriment by the operation of
the irascible appetite in the breasts of any such other individuals
by whom pain or loss of pleasure to themselves
may be viewed as producible by the acts performed
by him in gratification of such his concupissible
appetite: it is thus that injury to others finds its
first restraint in the fear of eventual retaliation
and retribution — the natural consequences of resentment.

first makes its appearance, then the
popular of or moral sanction formed partly
