So much for principles that which, being unassigned, amount
to nothing: now for principles which being assigned are substantial
ones, consisting of indications given of the quantities of pain
or pleasure the production of which will depend on the course which taken by
the ordinance of the legislator or decision of the judge. betw

Before me lies a table which I have drawn up —
a table sort of table or diagram — in and by which are exhibited
all the several principles which upon having read the
question put to you on the subject of that part of the rule
of action which applies to real property presented themselves
to my conception as proper to form a s and
ground for the several enactments: The aggregate
of these all exhibit all wears the appearance of presents a sort of tree of
which th has for its stem or trunk the greatest happiness principle, and
for its branches springing one out of another the several principles
by which indication is afforded of the several ways in which the
enactment which they respectively recommend would be contributory
to the attachment of that universal all-comprehensive end in view. If Should life
and health faculties continue long enough, I may perhaps take the
liberty of presenting to your view submitting to your consideration
the leading features of a book suggested by the aggregate
of these same considerations [a book having for its object the production
of the correspondent beneficial effects.] On the present occasion
however I shall not attempt to give you any such trouble
I shall not draw upon you for the lib time and labour of taking
into consideration more than one of those same principles: it
is that to which I have given the name of the disappearance
-minimizing or say the disappointment-preventing or non-disappointment
principle: it constitutes one the most influential of the main branches
which spring out of each strand in immediate contact with that same all-comprehensive
principles: not deriving their influence from any
intervening principle(a). Why this principle and no other? I think I hear
you
You saying. My answer I answer
because when disappointment
takes place then it has
for its product a s
of ness — say in one
word a pain, by the
of privation which has
in fact been produced
the wish of seeing the
sort of institution called a Register Office in every breast in which that same desire has had place. Suppose that effect not to have place, the
money employed in giving existence and continuance to every such institution would be expended .
