To+ render our view add still further to the our precision of our articulation -ing of [the mischief produced by] this crime add still further exactness to render our analysis of this mischief produced by this crime still more exact to add our particular more to assist the accuracy of our estimation
persuasion of the slightness of the mischief
produced by this crime, it is to be observed, that in
murder in general, even where an adult is the suffering subject
of object the Crime, if we abstract the misery mischief occasioned
to his more immediate connections and the community by
the Grief & Terror consequent upon the event, the mischief
remaining will be little more than nominal
will be so slight as to be hardly susceptible of estimation.
For with respect to the pain sustained in
consequence of the murderous destroying
act, which if it may well be
supposed, & for this I must appeal to the observation of
the faulty Physicians that this upon an average, is if
any thing rather inferior to that with which
natural last illnesses are also upon an average accompanied.
There remains then only to be taken into
the account that part of the mischief which comes to
in the loss of that remaining portion of happiness which the
sufferer might be supposed to have enjoyed had his
life been protracted to it's natural period length NOTE
[When
I say this, I suppose, all along that the portion quantity of happiness
enjoyed by mankind (that part of it about which this work is particularly concerned at least in this notion) exceeds
that of misery sustained [by it] — a supposition
which the notorious & almost universal desire of longevity abundantly confirms,
& which nothing but the inconsiderate hasty transport of a mind
under the present influence of suffering or can
controvert. accordingly 'tis only in poetical compositions
which are conversant in the representingwhere the province business <add>profanity <add>scope</add></add> of which is to paint in strong colors
individual & transient imprecisions, that the contrary notion is endured
