Negative effective benevolence consists in nothing more than
in the avoiding to do evil to others.

But of evil done to others, some portions are taken
cognizance of by law – others are left to the operation of
opinion, with its different sanctions & instruments of pain
and pleasure.

Evil done to others by man's instrumentality may
be deemed annoyance – & annoyance is either punishable or
not punishable by judicial proceedings.

This division, it is obvious, must be not
natural but factitious. Its lines of demarcation shift with
time & place. In different countries different laws visit
the same acts with different consequences What is sanctioned by the legislation of one
nation is unnoticed or prohibited by that of another. In the same country
the same act a has been at different epochs obtained rewarded – allowed –
or punished. The annoyance that is punishable by law
is termed injury, – personal injury.
