9. Security against evil is either against evil from calamity (d)
or against evil from hostility.
10. By calamity understand human suffering, in the case in
which, by its magnitude and in determinateness in respect of extent, it
stands distinguished from, and above the quantity ordinarily produced
by one and the same cause.
11. By evil from calamity, understand evil from purely physical
agency: by evil from hostility, evil from human agency. But by purely
physical agency, no evil is producible which may not from human
agency, receive its commencement or itsencrease
12. Of calamity, the principal sources are, — Inundation, conflagration
, collapsion, explosion, pestilence and famine.
13. The evil doers against whose hostility, that is to say against
whose evil agency, security is requisite, are either external or
internal. By the external, understand those adversaries who are
commonly called enemies.
14. Internal adversaries against whose evil agency severity is
requisite, are the unofficial and the official.
Note (c) concluded. - will not be lessened, if by means of the defalcation
made from the subject matter of probability of retaining what remains
of it be not lessened. By any such defalcation made from the
subject matter of security taken in the aggregate, so far is security itself
from being necessarily lessened, that without such defalcation it could
not have existence. Witness taxation: without which no where could
the business of government be carried on: no where could security against
adversaries of any class have place: no where could security against
calamity in any shape be afforded by Government.
Note (d) [calamity] The giving execution and effect to precautionary
arrangements taken with a view to calamity, belongs to one branch of
that part of the business of the Executive department which in the
ensuing Codex is stiled the Preventive Service: the giving the like support
to such precautionary arrangements as are taken with a view to
hostility at the hands of the unofficial and resistible class of adversaries
belong to the other branch of that same service.
