In use would will nature be made of the Greek and Romans: or use of the China Region
. In the greatest happiness principle: the ideal happiness principle
it must be, each for the benefit of the private no price can be
here given
In vain mention speak of the Greeks and Romans: they were
heathen: as vain, the Chinese, they are Atheists. Not to maximize
pleasure is the object not to minimize pain in beings susceptible of both, but
to avoid giving pain to an almighty being who is unsusceptible
of it: whose in whose benevolence is infinite, and who to give exercise to
it puts a veto and that a continually fruitless one upon
every act by which any addition can be made to the stock of
their demands off which alone happiness can be imposed.
In vain mention the greatest happiness principle — believe
and dear how can it be otherwise? is the principle. Not the greatest happiness principle is it, but the
least-happiness principle

not only on the part of the finder but on the part of the
receiver, trusts, in this part of the field any more than in any other
can not be forced; indolence shrinks will still shrink from the enquiry, pride
would refuse the acknowledgement of the disdain to acknowledge the result if forced.
Preserved and record, the helpless and incurious being spread in

He heaps condemnation
upon condemnation,
usage upon usage
