In Hartley on Man
greater but still
incomplete number
of species mentioned

In the year appeared the work
of David Hartley, Doctor of Physic, known by the short
title of "Hartley on Man". It came out of the hands of
the author in two volumes octavo: which two volumes
were in addition an edition some years afterwards
published by Dr. Priestley by elimination made of
a quantity of useless or to use a quaint appellative
once in vogue quis-quilious matter reduced to one.
In this work of David Hartley's a greater number of
species were it is believed ranked under the two
genera of pain & pleasure than are to be found
in the work of Helvetius. Still however it
was far from being all-comprehensive : far -
widely far from being adequate to the demand for
which the application of this branch of art & science
to the purpose of giving direction to human conduct
in the several walks of life public as well
as private is continually presenting : as will be
seen in when the work already alluded to comes to
be distinctly brought to view.

Greatest happiness of
the greatest number
first mentioned by
Priestley A0 1762 & 1769

Between the years 1762 & 1769 the came
out a pamphlet of Dr. Priestley's written as
usual with him currente calamo and without
any precise method predetermined but containing
at the close of it it is believed in the very last
page in so many words the phrase the greatest
happiness of the greatest number, and this
was stated in the character of a principle
constituting not only a rational foundation
but the only rational foundation of all enactments
in legislation and all rules and
precepts destined for the direction of human
conduct in private life.
