|
| |
| <note>Negative beneficence<lb/>
| |
| annoynace corporeal</note>
| |
|
| |
| <p>Of the five senses, the feeling and the taste do not, on<lb/>
| |
| this occasion, come in question: annoyance to either of these<lb/>
| |
| senses presents itself in the from of a legally punishable offence:<lb/>
| |
| annoyance to the touch or feeling, <del>presents the idea</del> <add>becomes</add><lb/>
| |
| <del>of</del> what, in law language, is called assault: annoyance to<lb/>
| |
| the taste presents the idea of poison; and, unless deceit or<lb/><del><gap/></del> <add>intimidation</add> be employed as the instrument of it, can not but involve<lb/>
| |
| in it an offence of the nature of assault.</p>
| |
|
| |
| <p>In a word, the only senses exposed to <del>what on this,</del><lb/>
| |
| <del>occasion, is meant by</del> <add>The</add> annoyances, are the three senses <add>which come under Deontological cognizance</add> which<lb/>
| |
| are capable of being operated upon without <del>any such operation</del><lb/>
| |
| <del>in consequence of which</del> <add>immediate</add> contact <del>is generally regarded as</del><lb/>
| |
| <del>having place.</del> These are the smell, the hearing, and the sight.<lb/></p>
| |
|
| |
| <p>1. The smell. The ways in which annoyance may be<lb/>
| |
| inflicted on this sense are, for the most part, sufficiently<lb/>
| |
| obvious. Under this head, some cautions <del>there are which</del><lb/>
| |
| may not be altogether without their use.</p>
| |
|
| |
| <p>Trifling as they may seem at first sight, in regard <add>of</add> to all<lb/>
| |
| these modes of annoyance which operate throughthe senses,<lb/>
| |
| such may be the effect to banish one friend from the Society<lb/>
| |
| of another, and even render a man an object of recorded<lb/>
| |
| aversions to a whole company in any degree numerous.<lb/>
| |
| Trifing as it may seem, whhat renders the mischief in this case<lb/>
| |
| the more serious, is that, by a sort of mixture of shame, fear<lb/>
| |
| and sympathy, the person by whom the annoyance is felt is<lb/>
| |
| apt to be restrained from making communication of his feelings<lb/>
| |
| to the person who is the author of it. Here, then, is the case<lb/>
| |
| of an act which, having the effect of maleficence, <del>is forbidden</del><lb/>
| |
| stands clearly prohibited by the dictates of negative beneficence,<lb/>
| |
| and <del>thereby</del> <add>thence</add> of self regarding prudence. Trifling as it may<lb/>
| |
| seem in the extreme, greater annoyance id produced by it than<lb/>
| |
| would be produced by many punishable offence, at the same<lb/>
| |
| time that, by the circumstance just mentioned, the injury, such<lb/>
| |
| as it is, stands precluded from the benefit of pardon</p>
