In the case of injury or imagined injury received imagined is to have been received, the cravingness of this appetite, has every where been the more intense. The less the advance made in the career of civilization, the more violent this irascible appetite is apt to be in the case of injury. /To/ Of the demand for punishment as regulated by the principle of utility it is /has in this case been/ altogether without regard. Blinded by passion a man yields to and is governed by the calls /cravings/ of the appetite how pregnant so ever with anothers misery, and to this inordinate and destructive desire /has given/ gives the appellation of the love of justice.

    §. Error Causes

    Unhappily the appetite for the spectacle of another's pain /human suffering/ is not confined to any such /comparatively/ narrow and /uniformly/ /clearly/ salutary case. Cases there are, and that to a deplorably extensive amount, in which the appetite [is produced] for this barbarous feast is produced, not only without antecedent experience of injury /received pain injuriously inflicted on the person by whom this appetite/ but without so much as the belief or supposition of it. Created by any difference in opinion, created by any difference in taste, what is this subject of difference by which it is not capable of being created?

    Unfortunately too when the appetite is thus /causeless/ groundless, produced without any specific /particular/ assignable cause produced as it were in the way of equivocal generation, it is in these cases that it is apt to be most [...?]: produced by injury, it has for its limits and its measure and its limit the magnitude of the injury: produced without injury, its magnitude is without limit: it has no other measure than the strength of the irascible appetite /dissocial passion/ in the breast in which this appetite has place and operates.

    /2/ 1. Extravazatia. /1/ 2. Saturation. 3. Error as to the source: the source inanimate. Extravazatia 1. to the whole lineage[?] 2. to the whole sex.

    In the case of physical appetite when the state of things /in/ which is the immediate source of the pleasure which the desire or appetite has for its object has for a certain length of time had continuance /been in existence/, it ceases to be productive of that effect the pleasure ceases, what is called saturation takes place and the pleasure is at an end. Analogous to this in some sort is the effect that has place in the case of this psychological appetite.
