1824 Oct. 30
Procedure Code Parallel

1 Introduction Preface
J.B.

1

Every act of every human being has for its end in view the
maximization of the felicity of the author agent according to the view
taken by him of it that the time at that same moment of time

In every course of action, such as is the end, correspondent/accordance knowledge
judgment, and power being present, such will be the means,
and such the result

Of the present proposed course of action by/of which Procedure Code has is been
the result, the end has been maximization of the felicity happiness of
the author.

But such as not to speak of earlier times such during
the imposition of it has have been the his situation and turn of
mind that for the maximization of his own felicity he has
seen no other means so conducive, as the endeavour to contribute
what is in his power to the maximization of the felicity
of all other human beings and were it in his power of all
such other beings as are susceptible to it. (a) His own individual interest
is this, in his view of it in bound by/in a state of the closest alliance to the universal
interest according to his view of that same all-comprehensive
interest: it is therefore may accordingly be termed a rightly directed pointing/directing interest

Setting aside that circumstance which is common to all
human action, the end in view of the Code may for shortness and
yet without prejudice to correctness be stiled as being the maximization
of human felicity in so far as dependant upon the apl of the Procedure Code.

In this there is nothing but what is natural: nothing but what
is to a certain degree extent already exemplified and will naturally be continually
with
to a greater and greater extent continue to be exemplified,
continued so long as the species continues in existence.

Many a man directs, and with continued delight the most
intense labour of mind to chess, by success at chess in pleasure
is reaped other than that attendant on the exercise of that mental power
and that exercise not directed to any other end [J.B. make sensibility
by degree, extended: aided by reputation source of indefinite good office: by
anticipation & of these]
