Happiness is the end of every human action, of every human
thought, how can it, or why ought to be otherwise? This
is for those to say, who sometimes seems to struggle to
dispute it. If they are serious, we will hear them in -
another place: at present, by way of hypothesis, let us
suppose it without dispute. it shall be an hypothesis

necessary.

Husbandry then is the art of producing Happiness by
providing food necessary to the support of being against
Hunger, a constant cause of its dissolution.

Medicine is the art of producing Happiness by supporting
being against the occasional causes of dissolution,
and by supporting the body against pain.

Architecture is instrumental produces Happiness by securing men's persons
from the deleturious influences of Heat, Cold, and Moisture
that is of some of the occasional causes of dissolution:
by securing the instruments of enjoyment against dispersion
and depositions by giving its own productions a
form agreable to the eye.

Classes contribute to Happiness more immediately by fashioning
the productions of nature They may be called instruments of the 2nd order. into instruments of sensitive

enjoyment; others more remotely by the production of
the first

the nature distinguishing properties of the productions
of nature convertable into instruments of enjoyment
so as that they may be known when met with.

capaities for artificial modification of bodies,which —
may suit them to the purposes of the mechanical arts.

out and describing the several regions, birth places of
the several articles that are converted into instruments
of enjoyment, in order to their being met with.
