By these two leading terms will be prudence and benevolence
it will be seen how clear and it is hoped commodious a plan
of division and distribution will be afforded for the whole of the matter
of the practical part of this work, and to this purpose nothing
more will require to be added, than a distinction of which the number
ranged under the head of prudence, and thence a division of the
virtue of prudence into his branches or species.
In one one class of cases will be seen in which the happiness
of no other person is at any way in any immediate way at stake
otherwise than the person himself when
considered as applied to this class of cases, prudence will be made
to take receive the name of Purely self-regarding prudence: the interest
of others is not an occasion to be considered no other
persons being so circumstanced as that their interest is
at stake upon what is done or not done.
Dictates of purely self-regarding prudence will therefore
constitute the title of the matter combined in the first division of this
practical part.
When the happiness of others as well as his own is at
stake upon the conduct he is about to pursue, mans own happiness
it has already been observed will be the sole immediate and
ultimate as well as immediate object of his case solicitude, that of
others no further than in so far as his own happiness is affected
in virtue of the way in which the happiness of others is affected
by his conduct. But whensoever the happiness of others is affected
by the conduct a man pursues, his own happiness it will be
shewn will in some way or other be affected by the manner in which
theirs
theirs is affected by it.
