§. 1. Good and evil in political society: their nature and mutual
relations and effects.

Good is either positive or negative: positive, is pleasure,
negative, is pain exemption from pain.

Evil is either positive or negative: positive is pain; negative
is loss of pleasure.

Good, upon the most extensive scale is the only proper end
of government.

Good and evil are the sole means employable by government
in its endeavours towards that end.

In relation to government Evil is not only a means, and an indispensable means
and in such sort that its efficiency in comparison of that of evil its efficacy is very inconsiderable: for it is only by evil
without concomitant evil, concomitant or antecedent, no part
of that good which is employed by government as a means
is obtainable effecte procurable producible: neither I in the shape of money, power nor
factitious estimation can the make of good be given to one man but at the
expence of others: that is by through correspondent evil produced
in the breasts of others.
