that his greatest happiness is the only right and proper end
of government: that if the happiness of any other individual
is a fit object of regard to him or anyone else, it is only
in so far as the happiness of the sit individual servant subject
may chance to be an object of regard and sympathy to the

by cattle at the hands of an ill-tempered Master. The
best that can happen to them in the hands of the best
tempered Monarch is to be treated upon as good a footing
as cattle are treated upon by a good tempered Master.

or malice of a servant, their the ill
treatment they have been subj undergone suffered will manifest itself

sympathy of the Master will be called in action. Knowing that
the quantity of service he can obtain from them without prejudice
to their appearance is limited – and that after so sure as to endeavour
to obtain any more their appearance will rend their value in
his eyes will be deteriorated he will never work them to excess.
The inferiority of their minds to his being manifest, no determined and prominent resistance to law will being ever opposed by them they will on
not be objects of his no occasion be the objects of his ill-will or of his
: among trained horses there is no such thing as a determinately
and constantly rebellious horse.
