it has, among its objects, the promotion of some particular interest
– and this, at the expence, and by the sacrifice of, the greatest
happiness of the greatest number, – on this supposition, the more consummate
the aptitude of the workmen in respect of intellectual power
and active talent in relation to that end, the more extensive
will be that sacrifice. Not but that a case is conceivable enough
in which by a deficiency of in intellectual aptitude and active talent more
might be produced than by the most perfect degree of inaptitude in a worst point⊞ ⊞ of view coupled with
the most perfect degree of
aptitude in those two other
points of view. But the subjects
of consideration here are
not such cases as are conceivable
but such as are more of less
probable.

Now, as to the varieties, which, in respect of the
number of hands the workmen relative situations of the workmen thus employed, and their relative situations, the
the number of them in such their respective situations nature of the case admitts of: the influence exercised by both these circumstances
on the aptitude of the work, will presently become observable. In the influence exercised by the circumstances of number has already been announced.

By the supposition, the draught in question is
a discourse, which, when revised and compleated, will be the
expression given to the will of the possessor or possessors of the Supreme power whatever it
be in the state, wherever they may be. By the supposition they are
therefore respectively the ultimate ordainer or ordainers of the work.

The hands in which this same supreme power is lodged may
be those of a single person, or those of divers persons: the work
may have had either one ultimate ordainer and no more, or divers ultimate
ordainers. In either case, in and for the composition of the
this original draught, the posessor or possessors of this supreme the draught may have had for its composer or composers, those same ultimate
power may respectively have had, or not have had recourse to ordainer or ordainers, or some other person or persons, the nature of whose work reference
a hand or hands in a subordinate situations respective situations with reference situation or to those same ultimate
ordauners would thereby be subordinate.

These distinctions noted, the general case
will be found resolvable into these seven particular ones.

1. Case 1. Functionary, in whose will the ultimate efficiency Ultimate ordainer
of the draught depends a single person: namely, the Monarch:
Draughtsman that same individual person. Subordinate, none.

2. Case 2. Functionary, in whose will the ultimate efficiency Ultimate ordainer
of the Draught depends a single person, the Monarch, as before.
Subordinate Draughtsman, acting in subjection to that will a single individual.

3. Case 3. Functionary, in whose will the ultimate efficiency Ultimate ordainer,
of the draft depends a single person – the Monarch – as
before: Subordinate Draughtsman, acting in subjection to that will, divers:
In English practice, A Board, or a Commission, is the aggregate
denomination by which a set of functionaries, thus appointed
are, in this case, commonly designated.

4. Case 4. Functionary, in whose will the ultimate efficiency Ultimate ordainers,
of the draught depends, divers: namely an aristocratical composing thereby a bod body of men
body, as before acting as above and that a one supposition a large comparative large one Draughtsmen those same individuals persons acting, all
of them with exception, in the composition of the draught.
