Polit. Deontology

If the in private others without any adjunct – and
thence considered in no greater extent than that which
belongs to it in its application to private self regarding morals deontology
the principle of utility was thus unacceptable unpleasant – presented
in an extended point of view – stretched to
its utmost extent by the adjunct all comprehensive
it was it presented to the same few eyes an object
state more distasteful. To these same few
eyes self were an object even in a degree beyond the
common an object of sympathy and regard: the small circle
in which the moral are comprised, an object
of some regard; every thing beyond that circle an object
of no regard at all.

Unfortunately by a course cause in the very
offence of the sex the taken in its all comprehensive
sense, the principle of utility is peculiarly ill adapted
to the purpose of obtaining acceptance at the hands
of that sex. Sympathy to any considerable extent
sympathy for persons neither seen nor expects to be seen
is an affection which may almost be termed unnatural
which can not but be termed in the highest degree artificial
being altogether incapable of being produced in any
effective degree of form without a course of the most elaborate and
long continued culture carried pursued under the most favourable
circumstance. Expect not to find it in the cottage, the manufactory,
or the shop: expect not to find it in that seat
of and idleness – the palace, where indeed is the place situation
in which with any sanguine and at the same time well grounded
assurance of success anything mere throne the semblance, can always if indeed
so much as the semblance can be expected to be found.

Only in the breast of the politician – and among politicians only the
two in which whose breasts the affection of sympathy has received an
international enlargement
by a most elaborate
and rarely employed pursued
course of culture and
with any reasonable
ground of expectation be
looked for. But of the
virtues which with relation
to sex are not appropriate, hence will and its most immediate dependences is the most appropriate – the almost exclusively appropriate field: if beyond that field their be regard extends itself – not
politics – that being a field shut out from her view – not politics – but pleasure – pleasure to be reaped in the fields of fashion or the object to which her regards direct themselves.
