Section 2. Axioms Applicable to Security for persons

Axioms forming the grounds for such
legislative arrangements as have for their
object and their justification the affording
security for person against such maleficent
acts to which it stands exposed –

1. The pleasure derivable by any person
from the contemplation of pain suffered by
another is in no instance so great as the
pain so suffered –

2. Not even when the pain so suffered
has been the result of an act done by the
person in question for no other purpose than
that of producing it –

Hence one reason for of of endeavouring to give
security against pain of body or mind resulting from
human agency whether from design or inattention.

Now suppose the pain to be be the
result of partly natural agency, no human
agency having any part in the production of
it: – no human being deriving any satisfaction
from the contemplation of it, – the result is
still the same.

Hence one reason for endeavouring to give
security against pain of body or mind, resulting
from casually, or as the word is, when the evil
is considered as having place upon a large scale
calamity.
