The last cause of immorality which remains to be mentioned
is the preference of the present lesser good – to the distant greater good –
the avoidance of the present lesser evil, – when a greater distant evil will
be the consequence. This is the peculiar topic of our present attention.
And the source of the error may be traced to erroneous education
the intellectual and moral. It Vice may be defined to be a miscalculation
of chances. A mistake in estimating the value of pleasures & pains. It is false
moral arithmetic – and it that and there is the consolation
of knowing that – by the application of a right standard there are few
moral questions which may not be resolved with an accuracy & a certainty
not far removed from mathematical demonstration.
