Greatest happss. prine.

& indirect
1. Ascetic principle.

To ascetic principle
J. B. godfather in
Introd.
1. To the ascetic prince., the direct opposite of the
gret. happss. prin. Mr. Bentha stood godfather, and
under that name brought it to view in his Introd.
to Mors. etc. as above. Amongst other characteristic
& distinguishing properties it has this, namely
that to present it in the character of one
all-comprehensive system prince. — a principle of
which on every occasion of life applicatn. to practice ought to be made —
a prince. to whh. on every such occasn. human
conduct ought to make itself and be
made conformable is what no man
was ever known to advance, no man
witht. presentg. an uncontestable title to a
situatn. in a lunatic asylum ever advance.

If a man does not
deny that the pursuit
of pleasure & avoidance
of pain is conduct not
worthy of reproach - on
hm rests the onus to
show any occasion
on which such a line
of conduct is exposed
to reproach.
No man who will deny but that occasion
has place in whh. the enjoymt. & accordingly the
pursuit of pleasure in some shape or other, and
the endeavor to avoid experiencing pain
in some shape or other, are modes & courses
of actn. not exposed to well-grounded reproach.
But if this is true in any one case, on any one
occasn. it rests upon him who says that there is
any occasn. on whh. it is not of true time to produce this
same occasn., & say why it is that on that same
occasn. it is not true: & so in the case of every
exceptn. whh. he wd. be for cutting out of the general
rule, in a word on the opponent of the greatt. happss.
prine. — on the partisan of the ascetic prine., lies the
burthen of proof — the onus probandi in the more
familiar tho' at once antique & foreign costume
in whh. the intellectual obligatn. is commonly clothed.

2B. Hercules has overthrown
in Introd. Daemon of Asceticism
or Father of Lies.
In this just mentioned work of his, the
Hercules of ours has grappled with the Evil Genius of
Asceticism, & thrown him to the ground — or to
any lover of imagery the idea of a deeper spot is
more agreeable — his native hell, from whh. no
bottle-holder has as yet appeared to take him
up — And in truth, it seems not altogether easy to
find for the Daemon of Asceticism a more legitimate
than him on whom his such high &x
x incontestable
authority has already
been conferred
the style & title
of the Father of Lies.
