An observation made to Mr Bentham by Lady Holland
produced a great impression on his mind. She said that his
principle doctrine of utility put a veto upon pleasure - while he had been
fancying that pleasure never found so valuable & influential an
ally as the doctrine principle of utility. It was clear therefore that the
word utility not only failed in communicating to other minds
the ideas which Bentham attached to it, - but that to some minds
it communicated ideas wholly different & opposed to them
And true it is, that unless the greatest happiness principle be
recognized as the end, the doctrine of utility might be represented
as useful to some other end. And if the pursuit of pleasure
were assumed as worthy of disapprobation, [utility would teach
abstention from that pursuit. Dissatisfaction therefore with
Utilitarian phraseology gradually increased in Bentham's mind
