Logic or Ethics

Remains in the within the field of self regarding interest
and self-regarding prudence.

Of it the value of the matter present of good in all both its shapes –
viz. pleasure and exemption from pain, every man is in
his own instance the best at least, not to say the only
tolerably competent judge.

But where, in either of those its shapes, good the
portion in question of that pretious matter becomes more or less in a certain
remote, the more remote it is, the less ceteris paribus is the advantage
which in this respect the man being a man himself has in comparison
of another from who with the same natural talent
and appropriate acquisitions mental acquirements, has made taken the connection
between causes and effects in that portion of the field of action
for the object subject of a more attentive examination scrutiny.
Of the value of each particle of good, of the value of each
pleasure and each pain when once it becomes present to the
feelings of the individual in question by no other individual
can any conception be equally correct or compleat conception ever be formed:
But, not unfrequently, be a pleasure or pain which to the mind of another person shall
be present in all its value,⊞ ⊞ and its value with relation to that the individual by whom it is about to be in question as will expressed, as correctly and compleatly comprehended as the any feeling, what are not a man's own are capable of being the person to individual by whom it is
about to be expre shall to the mind of that individual be altogether
out of sight: and that which at any point of time is
not so much as thought of, is not capable of being, at that point
of time, appreciated.
