7a

Hume, however did this great service — He pointed out Utility
as the foundation or corner-stone of a system of morals — He
put it forward in contra distinction to the ground work on which
another set of philosophers build their ethical theories, — that
ground work being what they denominated commonthe moralsense.
It was something, — to bring the two principles into contrast —
When thoroughly investigated they were far as the poles asunder —
the moral sense principle being only one of the forms of dictation &
dogmatism, resolvable into the opinion of moral sense or opinion of the
individual, — while the principle of utility, almost necessary certainly
directed the thoughts towards, — if it did not necessarily
lead them into the regions of pain & pleasure, — & hence of
vice & virtue.
