Explanations

Civil Law.

The objects secured against are all of them comprisable under the name of a single fictitious entity - evil: but for every practical purpose one or other of the several sources from whence evil is considered as apt to flow require to be brought to view by apposite denominations. These may be afforded by one or other of two epithets annexed to the word evil: viz. the words purely physical and the word moral. By purely physical evil may be /is meant to be/ designated evil which has /having/ its /resulting from every/ source in operations cause in the operation of which human design /mind/ is not considered as taking any active part: by moral evil, evil in the production of which the human mind takes a part more or less active. In the different situations in which the persons in whose operations moral evil has its source, are capable of occupying with relation to those to whom the security is afforded, we have another /an ulterior/ source of division, and that a perfectly manifest and practical one. Be they who they may, considered as being persons from whose operations evil is liable to flow, and thence as persons against whose aggression the /security for the several/ members of the community is required, they may, with indisputable propriety, be designated by the term adversaries.

As to such internal adversaries

Evils considered in particular, and as being so many results of operations performed by /the operations of/ Adversaries, are termed injuries.

Internal Adversaries, when so far as the security afforded against injuries of which their agency is the immediate source is afforded by the operations of penal law are termed offenders, delinquents, criminals, malefactors: in so far as no such security is afforded by those same operations they are comprisable under the appellation of evil rulers.

    I. Monarchs interest

    Security bears reference to evil, and can no otherwise be understood than by reference to it: security is security against Evil. Evil may be considered in respect of its nature, or in respect of its source

    Sources of evil are the operations of nature: the operations of human beings considered in the several characters of internal adversaries: and external adversaries: internal adversaries are termed misdoers: their acts in so far as productive of evil misdeeds Misdoers are either non©possessors of political power or possessors

    It is the interest of every member of the community to possess in the compleatest degree security against evil from all these several sources against misdeeds by individuals at large and against misdeeds by /of/ functionaries

    exception excepted It is the particular interest of the Monarch that the maximum of security should be enjoyed by all the other members of the community in all these several branches with only one exception. But it is his interest that against his own power including that of all other functionaries in so far as the exercise of their respective powers is not unconformable to his will there should /shall/ be no security

    It is in a word his interest that in all things /points/ in which any contrariety has place between his particular interest and the universal interest the /a/ sacrifice of the universal interest to his particular interest shall take /have/ place. This sacrifice may be termed a sinister sacrifice © in the present case /instance/ the Monarchs sinister sacrifice.

    Whatsoever arrangement produces a net addition to the sum of his happiness it is his particular and sinister interest that it shall accordingly take place, whatsoever be the quantity of unhappiness and misery thereby produced /defalcation thereby made from the greatest happiness of the greatest number/

    Third on the list of the benefits which the Civil branch of the Law is occupied in distributing is security.

    Security considered as applied to individuals has for its objects, four distinguishable possessions: person, reputation, property, and condition in life.

    Security has for its adversaries, against whose enterprises it is to be afforded, three classes of persons differently situated and denominated viz. foreign adversaries considered as such, - foreigners considered in s far as they are, or are liable to become adversaries; fellow citizens or fellow-subjects, considered in that same light; rulers viz. of the country in question considered in that same light.

    Of /As to/ the acts against which, security is to be afforded and by which in so far as they are committed /performed/, security is broken in upon and lessened, /they are/ in themselves and their immediate effects are the same, by which soever of the three species of adversaries they are exercised. Taken however in the aggregate, they are wont to be designated by a different denomination according to the situation of the class, to which the person or persons by whom they are exercised, is considered as belonging: if to that of foreign adversaries, they are denominated acts of hostility: if, to that of domestic adversaries, considered in the character of subjects, acts of delinquency; if to that of domestic adversaries, considered in the character of rulers, acts of oppression, or if the oppression be considered as to a certain degree flagrant, acts of tyranny: if
