Constitut. Code(1)
1
The happiness of the most indigent and helpless
pauper constitutes is as large as large a portion of the universal
happiness as is does that of the most powerful, the most
opulent, the most knowing the most judicious prudent the most
efficiently benevolent member: the member on all accounts
taken together the most estimable and the most amiable.
The happiness of the helpless and most indigent and most
opulent helpless has as much title to regard public care at the hands of the legislator as that of the most
powerful and most opulent member.
If the possession of a share in of the supreme
Constitutive power is a means of or security for happiness
there is as much reason why a share in that means
of security should be in the hands of the most helpless
and the most indigent as why it should be in the hands
of the most powerful and the most opulent member.
The happiness of the most mischievous flagitious criminal evil
does constitutes is as large a portion of the universal happiness
as does that of the most beneficent member benefactor
The happiness of the most mischievous evildoer flagitious criminal
has therefore as much title to regard as that of the most
beneficent benefactor.
When a surgeon plunges a knife into the belly body
of a patient to extract a stone, it is not for the purpose of encreasing the
happiness of that same individual.
If by pursuance of the will of a kind pursuer
the chalking rid us ever applied to the back of a forward
child, it is not for the purpose not of diminution but augmenting
the happiness of that object of his solicited affections.
If by the common executioner in pursuance of the will declared by the legislature
the executioner a severe rod is applied to the back of a
malefactor old in guilt, it is not for the purpose of diminishing
the happiness of the that individual but for the purpose of augmenting
by preserving from diminution
the universal
