Beginning

Another sense in which the word prudence is
employed is that in which it denotes the faculty by which
whatsoever be the end in view aptitude is given to the means
employed for the attainment of it: but this belongs not to the
present purpose.

Now as to effective benevolence. Employed isPurpose for which this
term is employed, the designation of the compound composed of
benevolence & beneficence. By the word benevolence alone expression
would not be given by the idea here in view,
for supposing beneficence out of the question - supposing it
never to have place it would be of no use; nothing
wd. it contributeadd - nothing wd. it contribute to happiness.
So on the other hand in regard to beneficence. True it is
that it does contribute - by the very import of it, it means that
which does contribute, to happiness: but of itself taken apart
from beneficence it is no virtue- it is no quality peculiarbelonging
exclusively to human or any other sensitive beings- it is a
quality that is possessed by stocks & stones.

Go on to speak of its branches positive
& negative & to say that all virtues are reducible
to these.
