Indirect Legislation
§. 2
1
The endeavours
of preventive legislation
are levelled
either 1. against
the act itself: or 2. against
its mischievous
effects
The business and only business of legislation, or at any rate
of so much of it at least as we are now considering, is to
prevent avoid exclude mischief. Now there are two ways in methods by which
the business of preventing excluding mischief may be
endeavoured to be compassed at:
1. that of by preventing the acts thems from
which mischief is expected to arise: 2. that of by excluding
the mischief itself, although the acts from
which it is expect might otherwise arise, should
happen to have taken place.
2
To prevent the
act gov must
take away either
1. inclination 2.
knowledge or 3.

To begin with the first of these methods.
The mischief in question is any sort of mischief
consider'd in as far as the agency of man whether
positive or negative is in a way to be instr concerned
in its production. To prevent it then there needs
no more than to prevent any one [of the number]
of circumstances which whatever they may be the taking place of which
on his part is a condition necessary to the happening of that
event. These circumstances, be the obnoxious event what and
the obnoxious act that is consider'd as leading to
it what they will, will be found all of them
reducible to the three heads of will or inclination, knowledge
