The virtue of self extra-regarding prudence is only limited
by the limits of our intercourse with our fellow men – it may
even extend far beyond the bounds of our personal communion
with others – by secondary, – or reflected influences. In
the public field – & as forming a part of a whole people –
both national & international Law may be said to be one constitute
a proper ground for the introduction of that prudence which
respeconcerns others. And were this the fit occasion the
subject might be followed into the ramifications which
the Legislative & the Executive departments of government
present – and these again subdivided into their
administrative & judicial functions. But these consideration topics
belong more properly to the business of question for philosophical
legislation – & it is therefore only to the Private part alone of
the subject that of the subject as divided into the domestic & non-domestic branches
that our attention will be given – that part which
embraces man's social relations which have not a
public character – relations either permanent or
accidental – constituted by genealogical ties which are
dissolved only by death, – or growing out of those
accidental shifting, or temporary associations which form a
part of every man's history.
