Conjugates of utility —
Utilitarian —
Utilitarianism

It is in some sort of degree rather unfortunate that the only
denominatn. by whh. an apposite & correct concept. of the idea
is conveyed as one, from whh. as a root the stock of conjugates
required for the purposes of holding discourse on the subject of concerning it can
scarcely be made to spring: and that in consequence
it is to the word utility a denominatn. so much less apposite
that the must be left to be preferred. From
utility we have utilitarian & utilitarianism: Utilitarian
for the class of persons by whom the principle is embraced,
ism, for the system embraced in the doctrine taught by
those same persons. From the or say denominatn.
great<hi rend="superscript">t. happ<hi rend="superscript">ss. princ<hi rend="superscript">e. no word to answer these two purposes
can be deduced.

For expressing in a

eudseaimonology wd. do:
if so, custom must be
departed from in not
rendering it eudsemonology.

For giving denominatn. to the branch of wit & science of
whh. this principle is the foundatn. or say the root, the word
might serve for the use of those to whose minds the
signification of these words borrowed as they are from the Greek
present: but on the part of the language the want of
functionaries seems to oppose to the employment of it
an objection which seems scarcely surmountable too strong to be prevented. At any rate shd. it
ever be employed usage must in such sort be departed from

origin is transplanted into the Latin language or any other modern

into the oe diphthong: for eudsemonology, wd. be able to [give
umbrage to many] to present the idea of the doctrine or

be apt to give umbrage to pious minds.

No oppositn (in B's view)
to this principle by the
Tusculan Questns., where pain
is said to be no evil, &
virtue is happss..

To the possession taken of F1 his mind F1 by this
principle no sort of opposition was made by the trash with
whh. at a very early age to his no small annoyance he
had been bored by the so-stiled philosophical work of Cicero.
He had not completed his 13th. year, when, at Queens College Oxford,
the task was imposed upon him not indeed by his
academical instructors but by a not less irresistible
authority the task of rendering into Latin that work of his whh. is known
by the title of The Tusculan Questions or Tusculan
Disputations. Pain he there learnt was no evil. Virtue was
and is sufficient of itself to confer happiness on any
man who is disposed to possess it on those terms. What
benefit in any shape could be derived from impregnating the
