Ipsedixit equally
commodious with utility
as to conjugates —
dixitists — dixitical —
dixitism.

Ipsedixit shares with utility the advantage of being
a sort of strap on which, for the purpose of accommodating
the radical idea to the various forms ramifications which requisite to the business of
discovering conjugates may, in any number be grafted.
Thus, as utility yields lends itself to utilise, utilitarian, and utilitarianism utilitarianism
so does would ipsedixit to ipsedixitists, ipsedixitical and ipsedixitism
Not so Of the greatest happiness principle the texture is not
thus felicitous: the substructure and with its adjective before it will not
thus coalesce into one word capable of its receiving its
cluster of grammatical conjugates

35.
In this respect perhaps
felicity better than happiness
— with the addition
of maximising or
maximization.

Felicity the Latin-bred word for happiness the same idea would
in this respect serve better than the Teutonic-bred word
happiness. Of Logical conjugates it has already felicitous
and felicitate. It might be made to have felicitista, and
felicitism and felicitousness: but the requisite not to say
necessary adjunctitious idea associated with the word greatest
would in this case be still wanting. Possibly Felicity
maximizing or felicity-maximization principle are
denominations whi not incapable of being proposed for consideration
as candidates for the honor of being employed
for this same purpose: for although in both these cases
the appellation is composed of two distinct words, yet these
coalesce with little if any less facility than the two words
ipsedixit which for a time beyond the memory of man
have in this their combined and conjugate forms had place
in the language.
