    Aristocratical Section notions

    Aristocratical Section of the Public Opinion Tribunal Its Notions continued

    18. The proper end of government is - not the securing the greatest quantity of felicity possible to the greatest number of individuals possible, but the securing property in large masses in the hands of a few

    19. All reports of fact howsoever true tending to lower the higher orders especially the privileged orders in the estimation of the lower should be suppressed: and this consequence affords a sufficient rational cause for the suppression of them

    20. Reports, true or false tending to represent the conduct and character of the lower orders as worse than it is ought for the opposite reason to be encouraged: that the individuals belonging to those classes may thereby appear in one anothers eyes less worthy than are the individuals of the higher orders, and thence the individuals of the higher orders more worthy: more worthy of the benefits the privileged benefits possessed by them to the exclusion of the lower orders

    21 It is the interest of this Section not only that factitious honor has place, but that the quantity of it be maximized. For in proportion as factitious honor is encreased in efficiency and extent, the force /power/ of the democratical Section is lessened.

    Section of the Public Opinion Tribunal Its Notions

    Its notions continued

    21 continued Of factitious honor the effect is to cause men to receive a quantity of respect independently of the goodness or badness of their behaviour independently of their regard or disregard for the happiness of others in such sort that he whose whole life is a course of active enmity against the happiness of others shall still have as much respect as if it had been the reverse.

    The only check or counterforce which the [...?] efficiency of factitious honor has to check it is the power of the democratical section of the Public Opinion Tribunal. For as to the Aristocratical Section the wearers of the factitious honor in all its shapes compose the principal and most influential part of its members.

    22. It is the interest of the makers and receivers of factitious honor that the democratical section of the Public-Opinion Tribunal be without force. It is the interest of the Members of the Democratical Section of the Public Opinion Tribunal that there be no factitious honor

    23. That the Aristocrats should be exempted as far as possible not only from punishment but exposure: Democrats exposed as much as possible

    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.
