1822 July 21
Constitut. Code

Thus much as to legislators and legislation draughts.
In regard to the situation expositors and commentators the absence
of everything in the shape of a rationale has not been
their entire. In Fragments of the art of work have even been
seen in abundance. Of a rationale yes: but of what
sort? Of a sort which may perhaps not altogether without
truth may be pronounced worse than useless. Instead
of giving birth existence to the arrangements, the rationale has
derived its existence from them. In the breast of the ruler
self interest has given birth existence to the arrangements: in the
breast of the commentator self interest has again given
birth to the rationale. To the only right and proper problem
which the case admitts of has been substituted an opposite a sinister
one. Right and problem proper problem – To maintain
in each case that arrangement which is in the highest degree contributory
to the greatest happiness of the greatest number. Sinister
problem which has almost uniformly been substituted.

The arrangements in each case being given – what is required to
prove them to be in the highest degree the contributory to the greatest
happiness of the greatest number, or to any other object
or end in view which under existing circumstances has in
apt the highest degree the approbation of those in whose
hands is in the greatest quantity the disposal of the most
of reward to all its branches.
