Politics; and as all happiness depends on duty to one's 
self (Ethics), and therefore duty to one's neighbor (Politics), 
it follows that a theory which offers a basis for the develop- 
ment of these social sciences must immeasurably benefit 
mankind.

And it must follow, as the night the day, 
Thou canst not then be false to any man. 
Farewell; my blessing season this in thee.’
