Beginning
J.B.
By J.B. alone the
remedy undertaken
to be found — little
more than the Code
necessary.

(5)

To return to Jeremy Bentham. By him alone has been so much as undertaken
the task of providing an the appropriate remedy: this
task but for which every thing else is as nothing or even
worse. Necessary In the disorders of the body politic
necessary it is true, to the invention and application
of the requisite remedy, is the bringing to view light the
symptoms of the disorder: but between the one and the
other of the two tasks, how intimately so ever connected as they are
the distance is immense. Not less wide is the distance
between the quantity of intent necessary for the two tasks
In the case of the body politic, the symptoms of the
disease disorder are every where: the sufferings which be facts
and or those of which he is witness he witnesses and more especially
those which he himself feels for giving indication made of sufferings made known
to him by experience — is even by observation, little
more than the will is necessary.

11.
With him have
gone the nosological
and the therapeutic
branch. His views
omnicomprehensive.
Witness the invention
of the word.

All along with him have gone the descriptive nosological branch of the he and the therapeutic branch of
of the disease, and
of the healing art: the description of the disease and the
invention of the remedy. On every part of the field over
which he has travelled — and over which part of the entire
field is that over which he has not travelled, all comprehensive
have been his views: witness the very word
all-comprehensive: by no man that ever lived has any thing near so
much use been made of that word, by no man with
any thing approaching to the effect. Even before his eyes
has been the state of mind ascribed by Lucan to the
first of the Caesers. Nil actum reputans, duum quid
superesset agendum. Nothing (quoth he) is doi done which ought
remains to do.
