1822 Aug. 24 Constitut. Code.

1.

Instruments of good and
bad Rule: incorporeal
felicity being the universal
end, do. and its opposite
are not only the
universal subject matter
of all operations, but also
the instruments or
of operating towards
that end. No otherwise
than by means of pleasure
and pain can sensitive
beings be rendered productive
of either.

2.

Differ, however, from the
appellations employed
in speaking of them as
ends those employed in
speaking of them as means.

3.

1. Force, intimidation,
and remuneration —
instruments of all rules
thence of good rule.

4.

1. Force: viz. physical
seat of it, body. Without
this, then other instruments
can not be brought
into action.

For conduct of government,
things are not less
necessary to be operated
upon than persons:
only by physical force
can things be directly
operated on.

So as to persons: only
by force can an obstinate
intruder be removed
out of a house,
if neither intimidation
nor remuneration
prove effectual.

2. Intimidation. This is
force applied to mind. It
is eventually efficient
— cause of infelicity: evil
so applied: punishment
is the most prominent
and extensive instance
of its application: under
Good Rule, punishment
evil — pain-applied to a
man in case of his
failing to contribute
in the manner indicated
to the maximization of
felicity.

6.

3. Remuneration. This
is eventually efficient
cause of felicity, good:
applied to the purpose in
question in consideration
of a man's having
contributed, or being engaged
or expected to contribute
to felicity in some
shape and occasion indicated
or not indicated.

7.

Distinction between external
and internal instruments
of felicity. See
above or below.

7 (a).

1. Imperfection not furnishing
a word for hope
existing analogous to
intimidation.

2. Practically useful source
of instruction, analogy
between punishment
and reward.

7 (a) contind.

3. To reward is to punish -
superfluous remuneration
is depredation: practical results
these.

4. Hence, what men
learn to apply to reward
whatsoever frugality
they apply to punishment.

8.

By good rule, intimidation
and allurement
are minimized: by mis-
rule maximized.

9.

1. Intimidation minimized.
Reason, it can
not operate unless followed
every now and
then by punishment: producing
sufferance: and
itself it involves sufferance.

10.

2. Allurement affording
prospect of remuneration
minimized.

Reason. By Government
good can not be procured
but by means of evil
rather of good and do. of
evil are a great extent
the same thing.
Witness power & wealth
by ingress enjoyment
produced: by egress
lost and suffering
substituted.
