the course taken by conduct is on every occasion

that moment he has of his individual interest.

Corresponding to the three classes into which
of the human mind may be have been distinguished,
the a mans interest any mans every mans interest
may be considered as divided into three portions
viz. his self-regarding interest, his dissocial interest
and his social interest and his dissocial interest.

The use Interest has been its proper In the use made
of it the word interest has been but too apt to be employed
and understood in that confined sense a time
in which it is synonymous to self regarding interest
