thus denominated, not only the propriety but but the possibility of
its being that such an accompaniment to it should be executed in a case such as that in question, is, by
the very supposition, excluded. It being by the very motive of
man rendered impossible that, in the situation, the greatest
happiness of the greatest number shall be taken for the object of pursuit or any other object than

with the pursuit of which the pursuit of the happiness of the greatest number
is, in the most important parts of the Code, incompatible, —

of the Code, an accompaniment of this sort, could not, supposing
the workman known, and known to be in subjection
to his employer, promise itself any more acceptable effect,
than that of exposing the workman Masteras well as per employer to ridicule.
