Foundation of 14 Extra regarding

In so far as the sympathetic affection operates
its tendency can not but be to minister in the first
instance at least to the well being of some individual
or individuals other than the individual whose breast
is the Seat of it: in so far as it becomes productive
of its desired effect and that effect not followed by an
equal, or greater effect of the opposite cast the ultimate
result is, a clear accession to their aggregate
Stock of happiness in the community. By continually
recurrent experience or observation the attention of
each individual being leaning incidentally pointed
to this effect, hence it is that in each breast even
by the self-regarding affection itself, the value & usefulness
of the sympathetic affection considered as existing
and operating in other breasts in the character
of a source of happiness to himself is brought to
a source of each man's notice: each man's sympathy
finds itself excited, and brought into action as
it were by contagion by the observation or supposition
of the operation of the smpathetic affection in
the breasts of others: by from the example of the services
thus rendered by his next neighbour to his next
neighbour but one, a man catches by a process
more prompt than that of reflection contracts &
catches as it were a propensity to requite upon
occasion the author of those benefits with
similar benefits. But the cheapest mode of requital,
and that considering the extreme facility of it, not
the least efficacious — is, the giving expression, external
expression to the benevolent affection
which the man feels within him. But to give
expression to this affection as pointed towards
an operating in favor of this or that individual
in consideration of this or that act performed
by him, or supposed to be performed by him, is
to annex direct & apply in the shape of a reward the
force of the popular or moral sanction to
the production of similar acts. And thus it is that
out of the self regarding affection rose by degrees the
sympathetic affection out of that the power of the popular
or moral sanction, and both of them, in their main tendency
operating in conjunction to the increase of the aggregate
of happiness
