12 June 1816
Polit. Deontology

On the other hand while on so unpleasant a topic
as the above they remain silent preserve a prudent silence – speaking only of
what is their practice – declaring that it has for
its object the greatest possible happiness of those
to whom they are addressing themselves, being
what they do is to make proclamation
of their own and virtue – of their
own benevolence and of that beneficence which is
the practical fruit of it.

By Of the one form of speech the tendency would be
to put shackles on their hands: of the other the effect
is to check out their present themselves to the man's
of in the safest and most brilliant colours.

Happiness is composed of particular pleasures and exceptions:
unhappiness of pains and losses.

Only by increase of addition to happiness and di abstraction
from unhappiness as respectively composed of those several
elements can that professed and in question be in
any way promoted.

For making good such their professions, such
then is the only concern which the nature of things the case
admitts of.
