No room to speak of
distinction between effective
benevolence &
self regarding prudence.
J. B's Private Deontology
— what.

Here, if there were room, might be the place to
speak of the distinction between virtue in that shape in
which it is by persons other than the agent himself
that the benefit of it is considered as being reaped and
virtue in that shape in which it is by the agent himself
and him alone that it is considered as being reaped: in
a word between effective benevolence in the one which may
be the name of the modification of virtue in the one case
and self-regarding prudence (divisible into purely self regarding, and
extra-regarding) in the other case. In some papers
of which his on which he has occasionally been at work
in his way for years — making occasional additions at the moment of
their presenting themselves, and on the occasion of each
without recurring to former ones, the field of private
morality or, as by in his mind, it answers to the
name of Private Deontology, these are the two compartments
into which the whole of that field is partitioned
out: effective benevolence being further divided or say
subdivided into positive and negative — positive consisting in
the doing good, negative in the abstaining from the doing evil:
and self-regarding prudence into purely self-regarding, and extra
regarding, by the purely self regarding branch no feeling,
other than — those of the agent himself entering into the composition being taken for
of the objects of his regard: by the extra-regarding branch the feelings
of other persons, being on account and in consideration
of the influence which those same feelings may have on
those actions of the persons in question by which his
own feelings — his own happiness — may be affected.
But on the present occasion the bare mention of these distinctions
and with the all comprehensive system of which they present
the outline will if not superabundant, be at the least pronounced sufficient.
