28 June 1816
Polit. Deont.

§. 3. Generally accepted standards and principles – what
are indeterminate lessons of indeterminate propositions.

If the all comprehensive principle of all comprehensive
utility be not the standard in general acceptance what
then it will may be asked is that standard?

The answer is – No such single and determinate
standard is to be found any where. The standard in
general not to any universal acceptance – the standard
if unity is to be ascribed predicated to it must be as a composite one:
what all that there is that is determinate in it is a determinant not
of words and phrases: of words and phrases to which has
this thus much in common among them, viz that of each of them
the import being indeterminate, taken all together they bind
no man – they have every man at liberty: at liberty
to enter that line of conduct and therein of discourse and
representation which upon each occasion presents itself
as mass accordant with and subservient to his
purpose: to the design or wish whatever it be which at
that minute has place in his breast.
