Constitut. Code

In making the assertion I make an assertion a statement relative to a
matter of fact namely wh that which at the time in question
is passing in the anterior of my own mind: how far this assertion
this statement is correct, is a matter on which it belongs to
the reader, if it be worth his while to form his judgment.

If, admiting on his my part the existence of this desire on my part, it
be his desire to learn from me how it happens to have
place in other words what are the efficient causes, I am
ready to give him the information he desires, if in his judgement estimate
it be worth his while to receive it.(a)
Note
(a) Here give in a Note the three efficient causes

Such then being the desire, truly or falsely expressed
by me but at any rate expressed by me – in his breast
does has that same desire a place? If so, then may it be worth
his while to apply his intention to the course herein
marked out by me under the notion of it being correspondent
and contributory and conducive to the attainment of that same end.
On that the other hand, if so it be that that same desire has
no place in his breast, on that supposition, generally speaking
it will be useless to him to trouble himself with a useless trouble to him to pay any
further attention to anything contained in it.

To this observation one exception it is true there is, and
it is this: namely that, if the end in view which it is his wish to
see pursued is different from this, it may be of use to him to
take note of the arrangements here proposed as conducive to
the end pursued by me for the purpose of taking or recommending
such different and opposite arrangements as may present the
attainment of the end proposed by me and procure or promote the attainment
☞ Here give it in a Note the three efficient causes
of that other end, be it what it may, which is more agreable to his wishes.
Say for example the greatest happiness of some one member of the community
in question, or of some other number smaller than the majority of the whole number of the members.
