The Rational Principles of Action are Prudence, or regard to our own
good on the whole, and Duty, which, however, he does not define by the
antithetical circumstance--the "good of others." The notion of Duty, he

approvable; the professed rule of men"s conduct; what all men praise;
the laudable in itself, though no man praise it.
