But how? Does their a man's pride, or vanity make others happier?
If so – there is double gain. They are better off We have got hold of a pleasure & so are have
others. Does it not affect others either for better or worse.
Still there is a gain – for they have he has a pleasure in their his
own glorification. Does their his pride, or their his vanity bring
annoyance to the bosoms of others? There is something
thrown into the other scale – the calculation must be made –
all the annoyances suffered by all those who are annoyed
must be added together – & weighed against the pleasures
of the man's pride or vanity. It will be perhaps found that
the annoyances caused to others are proportioned to the
intensity of his own self-gratification. It is clear that in such a case the
balance will be increased in proportion.

The sun of moral is in the distinction between Deontology irradiates the adjacent regions of prudence
& benevolence. By it light is substituted to obviate darkness, order to chaos. It solves all
intricate problems & before it vanish all perplexing difficulties. By it alone can
be traced out the connections affinities, – from it alone can be deduced the relations between
the several classes of moral qualities. By it alone can the limits between
virtue & vice be discovered. All anomalies may be reduced by it, & only by it alone
to regularity. By it & by it alone a variety of qualities which have stood
in an unintelligible or insulated shape, may be brought into connection or contrast.
It is the spear of Ithuriel by which evil & good are may be detected, & made to
present themselves in their own true shapes.
