Altogether imaginary the work of imagination must be every any bar by which
in preference to the will of the anterior set of functionaries the will
of the posterior set of functionaries is considered regarded as prevented
from taking effect. Not by any well-considered regard for the
greatest happiness of the greatest number can any such imagination concept
have been produced: not by any well-grounded supposition ascription

those same anterior functionaries in comparison with those their
successors any superiority on the ground in the shape of appropriate intellectual
aptitude?
