Of human actions, Laws – in England the Law of Parliament
& the Common Law – take a considerable portion under their
cognizance. Wherever the sufferings inflicted by misconduct are so
great, – its as to affect the persons or property of the community on a
large scale of mischievousness – penal visitation comes with
its punishments – where actions are supposed to be beneficial to over
so large an deal extent as to demand the attention of the Legislative
or Administrative Authorities, public recompense is brought to
reward them. Beyond these limits a vast masses of enjoyment
& suffering are produced by human actions conduct – and here is the
province of morality. Its directions & its sanctions are become a
part sort of fictitious law. Those directions are of course: dependent
on the sanctions to which they appeal – and it is only by
bringing the behaviour of men into under the influence operation of
those sanctions that the Moralist, – or the Divine – or the
Legislator a can have any success, – or influence.

These sanctions deal out their pains & pleasures –
their rewards & punishments – & they emanate from the
following sources

1 The pathological – which include the physical & psychological
or the pleasures & pains of body apersonal mostly corporeal character

2 The social or sympathetic which grow immediately out
of a man's domestic & social relations

3 The moral or popular which are the expression of public
opinion

4 The political, which comprise the legal & administrative –
the whole of which belong to jurisprudential rather than
Moral Ethics

5 The religious Sanctions, which belong to the Ecclesiastical Teacher

With only these the two last of these the Deontologist has little
concern. They it are the instruments of the Legislator & the divine.
