Logic
Its comparative the distinct weakness hinders it not from being put upon this
line of sanction: here is an effect productive though not constantly
in case it is to him the cause assigned in
any of the other effects observations product even indelible
in of the neglect of it.
That in comparison of these the several other moral forces to
which the name of Sanction has here been given, the
force here termed the sympathetic sanction is in general
very weak, is not to be desired. But, for the omitting
it out of the list of sanctions, this weakness were it greater
than it is, would not afford any sufficient warrant.
Of itself, i.e. and without assistance from any of the other
sanctions, it is every now and then seen productive of
very considerable effects. Under the guidance of It is to this force of this sanction the
principle of utility understand of general utility stands indebted for whatsoever reception
it meets with, other than what may it may happen to any other the
in the list of sanctions, other sanctions or some of them, to be instrumental
in preserving for it. Under the guidance of the principle
of utility, it operates in alliance with the
several other sanctions. Under the same guidance,
it may not unfrequently be seen acting operating in opposition
to them, and checking them in those sinister courses of
opposition towards of malfeasance into in which in opposition to the principle dictates
of general of utility they are, all of them, so more or less apt
apt to be led by the political sanction whether
under the non guidance, or under the guidance of the religious.
Equally steady in its and efficient in its action with
any of those mode self-regarding sanctions it can not be said
to be: but a force howsoever weak and unsteady is still not the less
a force: and but were it not for the operation of this sanction, much no
small portion of the good of physical and moral which have
place in human
affairs would be
in effect without a cause.
