of annoyance

5. In difference of taste, ill will may find another motive
for acts which benevolence would check. Such differences
have often been made the plea for thoughts words of hatred & acts of
hatred. And into th no part of the field of action has malevolence
rushed with greater malignity. Here especially is there

their modifications. Look to the annoyances of which the bodily
senses are susceptible – those of whi course which it does not belong

pleasures of good reputation, in a word the whole store house of satisfaction and do. of suffering. Take into account the general
susceptibilities of men – & as far as can be ascertained the
peculiar susceptibilities of the individual.
