For the satisfaction To those, by whom If this last account of it be preferred, reference may be made to
the existence of the species as being of itself a proof - and that a
one. For, after exception made of the case of children
not arrived at the age at which they are capable of going alone,
or persons adults reduced by old age infirmity to a helpless state
take any individual and happen two individuals and A and B
and suppose the whole care of the happiness of A to be confined to the breast of B.
A himself not having any part in it
and the whole care of the happiness of B confined to the breast
of A. B. himself not having any part in it - and this to be
the case throughout, it will soon appear that in this state of
things the species could not t continue in existence, but and that
a few weeks months not to say weeks or days would suffice for the
annihilation destruction of it.

Of all modes in which with reference for the conduct governance to the conduct of
one and the same individual the two faculties wer could be conceived as placed in different
seats sensation and consequent will desire in one breast, judgment
and consequent action in another, this is the most simple.
If, as been with less <add>constant truth said of the blind leading the blind, both would
in such a state of things be continually falling into the ditch
much more frequent and more speedily fatal would be the falls,
if supposing the separation had place to have place upon any plan more complex plan:
if suppose the case of the happiness of A. were divided being
taken altogether from A. were divided between B. and C:
the happiness of B. and C. being provided for in the same
complex manner: and so on the greater the complication
the more frequent speedy could there be any difference would
the destruction be, and the more frequent the absurdity of
a happenstance, assuming the existence of such a state of things
