1828. Jany. 31
Law Amendment.
20 or 5. 2. Income of richer loser rich £100,000 a year
income of the poorer less rich gainer £10 a year: wealth lost to the one
and gained to the other, £1 a year, the effect on the will
be on the sum of happiness the effect will be gain: more
will be gained by the less rich gainer than lost by the lat
richer loser.
21 or 6. 1. Thus it is that if the effects of the first order are
alone taken into account, the sufficient reason would
the consequence would be thus as the supposition of a new
constitution coming to be established with the greatest
happiness of the greatest number for its end in view, the
sufficient reason would have place for taking the matter of wealth from the
richest and transferring to the less rich till the fortunes
of all were reduced to one an perfect equality, or some
a system of equality so inequality so little different from
perfect equality as not to be such that the difference would
not be worth calculating.
22 or 2. Call in now the effects of the 2d and those of the
3d order, the effect is reversed: to maximization of happiness
could be substantial universal distruction – not only annihilation
in the first place of happiness; in the next place, of existence
evil of the 2 order annihilation of happiness, by the universality of the alarm, and the swelling
of danger into certainty: evil of the 3d order, annihilation of existence
by the certainty of non-enjoyment of the fruit of labour
thence extinction of all inducement to labour.
