the same. We have found a common measure
for them : a foot ruler an instrument the use of which
is familiar to both of us, and which known
by a which through the medium of our
senses presents us with such ideas, of quantity
as by experience we always find to be alike.
In the same manner if you say it was hotter
yesterday at noon than it was to day at the
same hour and I agree with you, our ideas of the heat of the weather
at those , respectively may notwithstanding
be very different. But if you say the thermometer
stood at 60 yesterday and fell to
day to 50 and I agree with you, our ideas of the heat in this case
must be alike.

If then, speaking of the the respective quantities the quantities of
various pains and pleasure and agreeing in
the same propositions concerning them we would
annex the same ideas to these propositions, that
is if we would understand one another, we
must make use of some common measure.
The only common measure the nature of things
affords is money. How much money would
you give to purchase such a pleasure? 5
Pounds and no more. How much money would
you give to purchase such another pleasure? 5 Pounds
