Source of guidance, greatest
happiness principle: this prin.
said by all Governments and persons
– by those with, and without
power: on it depends existence
of species. By him
whose power is uncontrolled,
happiness of those under him
neglected & sacrificed; if he
has sharers, their's consulted
or professed to be.

In this work source of guidance
greatest happiness of
whole community.

The dictates brought to view
on every occasion – for existing
arrangements Blackstone's
Commentaries referred to.

As in private so in political
life, happiness aimed at
all men every man. In political affairs
conceptions obscure & unexplicit,
if so now, much more
so in early days when foundation
of present rules of action were laid.

Hence in concurrence with
grst.
happiness, two other principles
influencing conduct of
Legislator & Judge, the imitation
or precedent following & the custom
observing or pursuing.

These like two opaque bodies
– I have hidden the exclusively
luminous one.

For adopting these two principles
by great law functionaries
cooperating considerations
various.

Research, judgement, intellectual
& active aptitude
necessary for applying greatst
happiness. As of L.S.D. in
Commerce, so of pleasures &
pains in Legislation & Judicature
– they must be estimated
& set off agt each other, to
strike a balance.

For the other two, no such
skill necessary. "What is my
thought like", a child's play.
For Plaintiff's Advocate, this
like a case decided in favor of
Plaintiff, per Defendant's – this
like one, in favor of Defendt.
– per Judge it is like this, or
that, which his grandmother cd. say as well.

So far determined by love
of ease.

In precedents, if functionary
has a particular interest, his
decision will be regulated by it.
But if imitating is situated as
imitated was, then while acting
like his predecessor, he pursues
his own interest & without
scandal.

Interest of all Judges to get
maximum of power.
By pursuing track of his predecessor
without relying on his
own judgement, he gets praise
for humility & modesty. He sings
song of eulogy: praise on individuals
is do. on situation,
which he now holds. If objects
of admiration to learned, much
more to unlearned.

Almost all the rules which
will be referred to, grounded
on imitation principle.
