Dec. 26 — 1817 13 Extra-regarding

25.
It is already been observed that as in the individual
so in Society at large in infancy i e in the earliest
stage of its existence the affection of sympathy is
in its weakest state: viz. the affection itself considered
in and by itself and the force of that same affection
considered as tending to give birth to action
As In the individual so in Society as age, and experience
advance their affection and its force and efficiency
receive increase. As to the affection itself it is
only in respect of force that it can receive increase
But considered as a principle and source of action
it is capable of receiving and does accordingly
receive increase in two distinguishable ways: viz
1st in respect of its efficiency, with reference to any
individual in whose favor it may be considered
as operating i e in respect of the magnitude of
the services of which it has the effect of rendering
or causing endeavours to be used to render
to him, and thence the sacrifices which it causes
to be made for the purpose of rendering those
services: 2dly — in respect of extents; i—e in respect
of the number of the persons in whose favour it
operates as above. At first, the circle, within which
are contained the individuals in whose favor it operates,
in other words the field of its operation is confined
to or even within that in which are included
the individuals most closely attached to the individual
agent in question for example by consanguinity, by
affinity, by domestic contract, by habitual, and at the
same time friendly intercourse. As experience increases
and mental culture advances the field of operation &
influence of this principle of action enlarges itself
more, and more; it extends itself successively, or at the
same time to other such individuals res++ply connected with
the individual in question by the ties of profession
class town, province, political State.

Go on to shew how the sympatheictic sanction
then yr moral do minister to the
principle of utility; then how their dictate fail
