From p. 2. 1. Acts which are pernicious at one place or time may not be so at another
Why? because we find that in regard to the same act the the same act the influence
which it has on the happiness of mankind is,
at different periods conjunctures as well as in different places,
different. For the events that happen, and
amongst the rest, such as have an influence on
man's happiness are the result not of
human acts alone, but of the conjunct influence
of those acts combined with physical events circumstances;
that is with physical events and situations: [+]
[+] with the motions and the situations of the several sorts of physical bodies we are surrounded with. But at different times periods of time
these circumstances are liable to be altogether
different: different accordingly will be the effects
and tendency of human actions. In certain
countries places it is forbidden, and with great propriety
to cut down certain plants: from off the ground. even though the
person who did it were the owner of the Soil. Why?
because those districts are at present washed by
the sea: against the whose inroads the plants vegetable in
question are found to be one of the most effectual. is the a very servicible and at the same
time the only fence barrier. So long as this is the case, and so long as the act of cutting
no better down these plants is manifestly a mischievous
one; and in any one who perceives the
tendency of it, an immoral one. But let the sea
end cease those shores, it's attacks upon that coast or let a more effectual
boundary be interposed, to cut the plants now will is an
be meretricious act which is no longer productive of any mischief: on [+] [+] the contrary, supposing the plants to be of any use, the mischief would lie in the preventing their being cut [men from putting them to that use.
