without such the attention when employ'd upon subjects
of this general extended nature, soon bewilders itself. In all these to Happiness might be compared in this respect in depictions by a deduction which to be the unexceptionable would be too prolix to have had a place here.

Legislation produces Happiness by securing from pain corporal misery & accumulating ascertaining and securing
property [in person by ascertaining this belongs to Civil the source of Happiness and accumulatg
property in possessions the infinite variety of like material & some immaterial objects which are it's Instruments (the sources materials of Happiness)]
It secures property Property is in persons, or possessions Possessions may be divided into 1 Incorporeal, Untransferable & Ideal Immaterial as Rank, Character Reputation &c 2. Corporeal — Transferable material viz. the subjects produced by the instrumentality of the Arts above enumerated. by creating raising up artificial Motives Sanction viz. pains to counterbalance
the natural motives for impelling to the violation of it violating it.

Morality Polit Civil When from Domestic Invasion Political from foreign adjunct to Legislation (practical) secures property by pointing teaching & bringing out the
