16 Feb. 1830.

Under a government which has in reality for its constant object of pursuit the greatest
happiness of the greatest number, whole Community the more completely
and extensively the art and science of government
is good, understood the less intense and less extensive will
be all fees all such fears, which as have no other than an
indefinite object. Where once the stock of appropriate
knowledge and judgement in relation to the whole of the
subjectmatter of that art and science is to a certain degree
ample, the needlessness of the sort of institution in
question will be generally felt, and the institution with the useless
and prominent pernicious delay and compilation attached to it,
abrogated.

By every addition made to the degree of clearness of the views
taken by the public mind of the field of this art and science, the abrogation
of this and all the other useless and thence pernicious matter
will be of course accelerated. If those to whose minds whom all relevant all means of judging particulars
are continually present have as favourable an opinion of their own
constitution as the stranger has by whom these pages are penned, neither
will this, nor any of those other institutions which are here brought held up to
view in the character of uselessness, continue long unabrogated.

The more reasonable the minds over which it seeks to exercise its
sway, the greater the confidence with which a reasonable mind operates
in the execution of whatsoever plans of conquest he had formed.

In regard to appropriate moral aptitude the Country in
question is either one in which the rulers have for their object of pursuit
the greatest happiness of the greatest number, Community at large or one in which
they have for their object of pursuit their own particular & sinsiter
happiness interest at the expense of the greatest happiness of that same community.
greatest number. In the first case the preliminary
precautionary institution in question is needless: in the
other case, it is unavailing. Be the evil which what it may,
have the power of producing, it it being united with to
to the desire, it will be produced of course.
