Where the powers of benevolence come into operation
Deontology will at hand be near with her beneficent instructions.
In one hand she holds a bridle to check the disposition tendency to
inflict pain – in the other a spur to impel the disposition
to communicate pleasure. She puts her veto upon the will
that would hurt – she offers her recompense to that which would
serve. Upon the lips whose discourse that would annoy without some
preponderant good to the hearer or to society she puts the finger of
silence to the language that would communicate
enjoyment without any preponderant evil either to the
speaker or the suffer listener, she gives eloquence expression. To The
written effusions which vex & torment & irritate – but bring
with them no decided result of benefit she claims to censure &
to suppress. Where useful valuable truth & knowledge are communicated – where
exposure of misconduct is exposed whose exposure is beneficent predominantly useful – where
mischief is to be prevented – where good is to be effected – in all
cases where, in a word, there results to the world a greater portion
of good than of evil – she interferes with her Imprimatur.
