§ Principle of Utility – its two senses.

The term or phrase principle of utility is
in use to be employed in two different senses, the
Exegetic or Expository, and the Deontological, or Universal.

That senses are so far that for the designation
of both of them one and the same locution is
wont to be employed: but they are so far different, that
the present and the difference is to such a degree material,
that to him who are n a subject of such all
comprehensive importance would wish to know what
he reads or hears or says, or even thinks, it is highly important
that of this difference a clear conception
should on every occasion be entertained.

On this as on other occasions the word principle
with some determinative and specificative adjunct
tacked to it is employed to denote any proposition
of a general and influential nature: it is employed
for shortness and to save that entanglement which has
in the case of a many worded substantive in the character of an appellation is apt
to have place between the words which enter into
the composition of it and the other words i.e. parts of speech which enter
into the composition of the sentence in which it
performs the office of a substantive.
