Factitious honor

?.2. Expository matter

As to the compounds in which this article is an ingredient the consideration of them need not add to the trouble: though in full conjoined with the several other articles, in idea there will be no difficulty in keeping it separate

Primarily-seated and in an extravasated state - say in one word extravasated - by these two words the distinction of greatest importance in respect of usefulness or mischievousness will be brought to view. Appropriately seated the honor may be said to be in the instance of him /the individual/ on [..?] by an appropriate act of power it has been conferred: extravasated, in the instance of him who without any ulterior /additional/ act of power has received the honor in virtue of a relation borne by him in some way /mode/ or other to him on whom it was conferred: genealogical relationship is one of those modes; official is another: occupation of the same office.

    Evils of Extravasated

    Of all modes /modifications/ of factitious or made honor the most curious is that which has place in the way of what in the physical world in the world of realities used to be called equivocal generation - made without a maker. So many hundred years the /a man's/ supposed ancestor was it is supposed numbered among those whose whole life was a life of oppression and depredation, embellished with incidental acts of murder upon a scale more or less extensive: for this cause it is that to the descendant of that same malefactor respect is by him /himself/ and others respect is required to be paid to this descendant of that same malefactor In this case the honor can not be said to be extravasated In a state of extravasated the honor can not in this case be said to be: for, were the vessel /receptacle/ in which it was primarily seated looked for, by the supposition no such vessel would be to be found.
