Deontology Private? Errors of the Popular or Moral Sanction
including matters which must not be published unless it be after my death. J.B.

Errors of the popular or
moral sanction

1.
In a Innocence and
laudableness of inadequately
grounded are
even utterly groundless
wars: for supposed honor
and glory, dignity,
&c. While By the same persons
single murders
would be held with abhorrence.
A boast of
Bonaparte's was that he
had never committed
a crime.

2.
Generally, not to say
universally assumed
notion, that by power, factitious honor and
opulence all on even
any one, wrong one
maleficence may
be converted into innocence,
wrong into
right. Obtaining money
upon false pretences,
in the poor a
crime worthy of whipping,
transportation &c.
as per Statute; in
the rich not illaudable.
what is regarded
as the efficient
cause and measure
of wickedness – not the
quantity or suffering
produced, but the circumstance
of a man's
being dirty and untidy
in his person and apparrel,
and using a
phraseology different
from that of the rich.
Vulgar the epithet attached
to it; and what
is the meaning of the
word vulgar? Answer.
That which is in use
among the Common
people.

And what are the
common people?
what but the great
majority of the people.
And that which is in
use on the part of the
great majority of the
people, for what reason
is it that merely on
that account, it shd.
be held in contempt,
while that which is
in use col only among
the relatively few,
shd. for that same
reason be held in
honor.

3.
Propensity on the part
of men to seek, each
of them, to destroy another's
life and risk his
own, where no other
cause than that another
has imputed
to him – the having
uttered a wilful falshood,
that same man,
who is assuredly conscious
of having done so
more than once, and
is perhaps in the habit of doing so frequently.

– regarding
it with abhorrence
instead of sympathy

Infanticide – regarding
it with abhorrence
instead of sympathy.
