How to measure

Let no one man therefore be either surprized or
scandalized if he find me through in the course
of their work valuing every thing in money. 'Tis
in this way only we can get parts to measure
by . If we must not say of a pain or
a pleasure that it is worth so much money,
it is in vain in point of quantity to say any thing at all about
it. There is neither proportion nor disproportion
between Punishments and Crimes.

In conformity to this method of considering
Profit and Loss by a punishment or a crime the subject, it will be proper to settle the import
of several expressions we shall have occasion
to make use of. The pleasure resulting
from any act to the agent may be stiled the profit
of that act. The pain resulting from it
the loss by that act. According to the different
kinds of pleasures and pains, we may distinguish
therefore so many different kinds of profits and
losses. Profit accordingly mightbe distinguished
into the sensual [and] kind and the mental: in the latter class
we shall should find pecuniary which includes all
that is meant by the word profit in that confined
and narrow sense of it which is rather the
most common.
