Beginning

Yourself and all sensitive beings besides:
First and foremost, as being nearest and naturally dearest
to yourself all human beings. Supposing it, to be your endeavour,
by what means will it be your endeavour? Answer- by virtues
of which the aggregate is in the singular number denominated
virtue. Of virtue there are two branches: the
one commonly & familiarly termed prudence; the other
now for the first time effective benevolence, an explanation
of which will soon follow. Say of necessity in
two words effective benevolence: for for the designation of
the idea in question no single word does the language
afford.

Seat of prudence, the understanding: seat of effective
benevolence, the will and its sources the affections;styled
when considered when as intense and strong, the passions.

Branches of prudence two:- the one self-regarding;
that which is not considered as having any influence
upon or bearing any reference to the happiness of any other
being: it is that to which exercise might have been
given by the prototype of Robinson Crusoe - Alexander
Selkirk-in his otherwise uninhabited island: the other, extra-regarding;
that which bears reference to & supposes the existence of
other human beings. Say then extra-regarding prudence is that
branch of prudence to which exercise is given by you in your
dealings with other human beings.
