assuming arrogance find themselves altogether at their ease. By these caterers
to the moral taste pleasures are ordered off the table, – pains ordered on instead
of them – just as by the word of the Physician of Barataria the meat was
marched away from the presence of the famished Sancho – but the
Physician of Barataria did not replace it by poison.

Sacrifice – sacrifice – is the demand of the every day moralist.
Sacrifice taken by itself is mischievous – & mischievous is the influence that
detaches connects morality with suffering. The pro question is Little does he seem to be aware how far morality
may be effective without any thing painful. Its associations are cheerfulness
and joy – not gloom and misery. Certain it is the less the sacrifice made
of happiness the more must there be of happiness remaining. Let it be
obtained gratis where it can – where it cannot be had without sacrifice
let the sacrifice be as small as possible – where the sacrifice must be
great let it be ascertained that the happiness will be greater. This is
the true economy both of pleasure & virtue, – this is the prolific
cultivation of virtue.

Deontology – or that which is proper, – has been
chosen as a fitter term than any other which in the field of morals could be found
should in order to represent in the field of morals, the principle of Utilitarianism, or that which is useful. And
independently Utilitarianism presents offers too vague & undefined an impression
to the mind. As far as If the term can could be immediately & directly associated with the
production of felicity no considerable inconvenience probably will arise from its
use. But it must be so associated in order to give it the
& due effect; and if so associated it will become and it is feared that in many
the fit standard of reward practise, and rule of action in the whole
field of conduct it might be appropriately & conveniently employed.

It The occasions on which good the deontological
principle may be employed are either permanent or transient –
public or private. Public occasions are those which exist
between man & man as members of society in general, – of which a large proportion
of which occasions which may be properly called political do not
come within the scope of this work. Man's private relations are either
natural or factitious – those which may be considered as having birth
for their source, – & those which are accidental. These divisions will
be found convenient on the demand for the practical application of
the moral code.
