Dr Priestley published his Essay on Government in 1768.
He there introduced — in Italics - as the only reasonable & proper
end of government "the greatest happiness of the greatest number'
It was a great improvement upon the word 'Utility' — It
represented the principal end, — the capital, — the characteristic
ingredient. It took possession by a single phrase of every
thing that had hitherto been done. It went in fact
beyond all notions that had preceded it — It took up not
only happiness — made that happiness diffusive —
it associated it with the majority — with the many.
Dr Priestley's Pamphlet was written, as most of his productions
currente calamo — hastily & earnestly

"Somehow or other" to use the words taken from Mr
Bentham's lips when he was talking over with the writer what he
called the Adventures of the Greatest Happiness Principle — its
"parentage, — birth, — education, — travels, — and history" — Somehow
or other
