1821. March 3.d Deontology Private

The cautions in question are conveyed by easiest in presenting
to view to the reader this or that circumstances which, tho
really productive of mischief in the shape in question, has
been found by experience to be liable to escape notice.

First, then, as' to annoyance in that shape in which
the seat of it is in the sense of smell.

The most obvious is that which is produced by the emission
of gas from the alimentary canal.

Of gas of that species which is emitted from the
lower part of that canal, the emission is, in general, optional:
in such sort that, in general, annoyance, in this shape, can
not be inflicted without being intended: forbearance is in
the power of the individual by whom it is inflicted.I

In the production of annoyance which has place
in this shape, though the sense is the immediate seat of it,
imagination acts the principal part: the self—same scent
which, if emitted from a man's own body would not have
been productive of annoyance to him is rendered productive
of annoyance to him in a highly offensive degree by the
mere circumstances of its having being by another person
that it has been emitted, and the annoyances is capable of
being mitigated or enhanced by a variety of circumstances
connected with the person of the individual whose body has
been the source of it.

As the shape which the imagination has in the production
of annoyance in this shape is so great, annoyance
may, in this case, have place without any actual imperfection
on the organ which is the natural seat of it. Such is the
disgust apt to be produced by the impression that, by means
of the principle of association, a correspondent disgust correspondent
in its nature though inferior in degree, is commonly
produced by the idea when excited by operations which apply
not to any other sense than that of hearing.

Unfrequently of this annoyance
under tolerable
education. Pass
on to emissions from
the upper part.
