Compleat. Code
15.
11.Evil. 11. Evil by
usurpation
of respect due to
age.
Under the greatest happiness
principle, equality principle
requires that in the
scale of respect superiority
be given to age. Reasons:
1. All in turn will have it
2. Suspicion of injustice
excluded.
3. Envy and jealousy excluded.
4. Time and labour of contestation
saved.
5. Compensation for abatement
of felicity.
16
12. Evil. 12. Evil by spectacle
of injustice.
Seen above the shapes
1. Burthen to all
2. Burthen to meritorious
.
3. Burthen by injustice to
age.
4. Burthen by avoidable
additions to unavoidable
inequality.
Produced by those causes
this evil is distinct from
all.
17.
To subjects it presents rulers
as authors of these injustices.
Bad where injustice
produces discontent: still
worse, where not.
By spectacle
of injustice in one shape,
it is promoted in every other.
By habit, sufferers are killed
into acquiescence: by such
acquiescence, authors
encouraged
in perseverance.

18
13. Evil 13. Evil by spectacle
of waste.
By disposition producing
waste in any shape, so
in every other.
As injustice, so waste.
By spectacle of it in any
one, acquiescence and
perseverance in every
other.
19
Wasting hand, blasting pestilence.
Good nor evil in any
shape money, power, punishment,
pardon, time.
By blind pardons, people's
security wasted — by factitious
honor their respect:
by groundless holidays
their productive time.
20.
14. Evil 14. Evil by international
contagion. In any
one nation let evil in
this shape be produced,
it spreads over every other.
Among all mutually acquainted
i.e. civilized
nations, draught thus
drawn by Monarch on his
subjects for respect is
more or less honored by foreigners.
Truce, by difference in
the ranks, and do. in the
degree of information
in relation to them, differences
are produced
in the quantities of the respect
paid.
Still by every such title
every where is a man
recognized as belonging to
the privileged orders:
whose

20 Contind.
whose existence is every
where a nuisance, and
a dishonor to those who
suffer it: the effect of it
being small felicity to the
few, at the expence of
greater infelicity, to the
many: thence a proportionable
public injury.

1. in English
2. France
3. Germany
4. Russia
5. Poland.
