There are two ways in which Happiness Pain
or Pleasures are produced. 1st By causes in which
man's action has no concern, these are i:e:+natural +(for so they are generally called)
or which is the same expression, physical
causes: 2 By causes in which
man's action has no concern: i:e: moral causes.

NOTE
[I might mention indeed a 3d under sort of causes
viz. supernatural - but this viz the interpositions
of the Deity performed [immediately] god by
means neither either of the man, or of the
things we see These we shall pass over as they But as these] These we shall pass over - they are as much
above our knowledge as they are above the
notion of the two other sorts of causes that
are familiar to us [, we shall pass them over.]
[Tis] the latter sort [which] is that of the two on which
Laws can possess an influence: for it is on to
man only that man's Laws can be addressed.
If Happiness be in man the scopeend of every scope thought
and action, it is by the ideas of pain &or pleasure
only that action can be prevented or produced; that
The idea man can be moved be induced to action; that he can
be interested. be concerned in actions: The idea

therefore of Pain or Pleasure consider'd as
about to follow upon a mode of action or
probearancy is called indifferently a Motive
an Interest[+], and Inducement.[+]
We are now [sufficiently] prepared to enter
upon a fresh new and interesting task - the building
putting together the idea of a Law. the building up as it were in our minds
The task is by this easy - The great
labour is performed and over - the
A vast and incongruous pile which encumbered
the site has been removed - For years
I lay struggling under the rubbish - A short
sketch shall be given of it hereafter for the
instruction of the reader: it will be more
instructive after that topics of observation
have been collected [I fixed] from a simpler
model.
When after he has
collected such objects
of observation such
objects of comparison
as a simpler model
will more
easily suggest.
