Law Amendment.
From this will be to
of the said .
Of these propositions it will be observed that they divide
themselves into groups: one group being relative to security,
another to subsistence, a third to abundance, a the fourth and last
to equality: the first exhibiting bringing to view the enjoyment derived from the
undisturbed possession of security at large – security in its most comprehensive
application and sense of the word, contrasted with the enjoyment producible
by the breach of: the second group bringing to view the subject of subsistence
and
the third group bringing to view the subject of abundance and
the fourth group bringing to view the subject of equality, and stating the evil
consequences if any system of a legislative arrangement by which
a defalcation from the maximum of practicable equality is effected.
In each of the axioms the antagonizing or say conflicting or competing
interests of two parties are conjunctly brought to view: in those which
relate to Security security these parties are – the maleficent agent or say wrongdoer, and
the patient wronged: in the case those which relate to subsistence,
Abundance and Equality, they are the parties whose interests⊞ ⊞ stand in competition, no blame being supposed to have place on either side. By the legislator
preference will be given to that interest by preference to which the
happiness of the greatest number will be most augmented.
By the first of the three stages of the progress made in
society by the good or evil flowing from a known act belong

to those interior effects which flow from the same forces act in question in the two
stages of the of its career succeeding periods of its
influence.
As to the principles, the names of the denominated by
which expression is given to them have for their object and purpose
conciseness: – the conveying by means of their several composed substantives a conception of the several groups of
effects pathological effects in a manner more concise and thence
more commodious than by the a repetition made each time of the
several groups of axioms to which they correspond and which
they are employed to recall to mind.
