Civil Introd. 2

Such are the four political blessings which appear
to constitute the immediately subordinate or particular ends
of a system of legislation which has having general happiness
for its principal highest ultimate and most general end.⊞ ⊞ Upon looking over the
list thus given of them
it may be affirmed with
some confidence, that
there is not any one of
them whose title to
admittance upon the list
occupy a place in
the catalogue will appear
subject to dispute. The title In
the instance The Title of three,
of them, Security,
Subsistence Security and
Opulence that title is as plainly
incontestable as it is
obvious the goodness
of their title seems instinctively
apparent: in
the instance of the 4th
Equality, it is demonstrable,
and will have has been
demonstrated. But
1. is the catalogue thus
given a compleat one?
Among In the whole
Are there are no other
political blessings ingredients of
felicity dependent upon
the state of law with
which we are acquainted
and with which the language
has furnished us
with names for are there
no others which, as being
incapable of being referred to he head of any of he above four above enumerated headed are thereby entitled to a place stand in the catalogue with in the same
line? 2. As to the four here in question, is
be the pursuit of each independent of that of the
rest? Is the attainment of the highest attainable
quantity measure of each compatible with the attainment
of the highest attainable measure of every other?

3. If not, are they all of them of equal importance,
or what is the order of their importance? 4. Is the
quantity of exertion which they respectively require on the part
of the law⊞2 ⊞2 as a condition to
their existing in a
measure proportioned
to their importance,
is that quantity of
exertion proportioned to their comparative degrees
of importance? 5. In what instances do the measures
that would be require to be taken on behalf of each
one of them were that alone to govern determine the conduct
of the legislator clash with the measures which require
to be taken on behalf of the others rest admitting those
others also to have a claim to his attention? Where
this clashing or interference takes has place in what order
are they ought they to be made to give way the one to the other, and (which
is the same question in other words) in what order
stand the sacrifices which require to be made of the each each one
of them to every other one of them to another as a condition requisite in the
attainment of the greatest quantity of happiness upon
the whole?

☞ Here announce the general results? reserving the proof for
the project of the book.
