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
the greatest misery principle
that rules
[Not Grosmans but
]

Prevented the imaginary evil must be; and for the
benefit of the prevention, no price in the shape of real evil — is
evil not imagined only but felt — can be too great.

The mother with her suffrage of hands and mind —
her child-birth agency and her shame — for the wretched having no pity
is left: the once existing but not yet that the thinking being — being the
by which no suffering in any shape has been felt this is the object a upon this object has
which the whole stock of it the pretious balm has been exhausted. has been so
monopolized and absorbed

The serve Of the this mass of factitious misery who can up? sum up the amount?
Be it what it may, it is the to the extent of the existing system that all thanks for it
to the account of the existing system it must be placed. Grounded
it will continue to be, till the old function stock of the generation population is has passed old bigoted/weak minds
generation

has passed away: till then indolence will from the enquiry
otherwise than by without enquiry, an enquiry to which attention is necessary
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
would be the source of constant suffering to the whole family itself
not excepted. But for the suffering what cares the unfailing
moralist or : the still more implacable enemy to all existing happiness, the reliquent.

He continues and
He heaps condemnation
upon condemnation,
usage upon usage
argument upon argument
and not a prate does
he utter the that is not
a self contradictory
one. This happiness is
composed of pain, his unhappiness, of pleasure.
